For the better part of forty years, she had nearly no relationship with her only brother, despite many attempts at reconnection. Her grief and shame were devastating and isolating. But when she tried to turn to others for help, she found that a profound stigma still surrounded estrangement and that very little statistical and psychological research existed to help her better understand the rift that had broken up her family. So she decided to conduct her own research, interviewing psychologists and estranged siblings as well as recording the extraordinary story of her own rift with her brother--and subsequent reconciliation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBrothers, Sisters, Strangers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the result--a thoughtfully researched memoir that illuminates both the author's own story and the greater phenomenon of estrangement. Chapman helps readers work through the challenges of rebuilding a sibling relationship that seems damaged beyond repair, as well as understand when estrangement is the best option. It is at once a detailed framework for understanding sibling estrangement, a beacon of solidarity and comfort for the estranged, and a moving memoir about family trauma, addiction, grief, and recovery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"pd-product-id\"\u003e0525561692\u003c\/span\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9780525561699\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schumer Chapman, Fern\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eViking\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ipage.ingramcontent.com\/ipage\/servlet\/publisher_link\" data-href=\"publisher_link\" class=\"doPublisherSearch\" productlimit=\"INGM\" producttype=\"Book,Gift,Music,Video,Video Game\" pubname=\"Viking\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHardcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApril 06, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.2\" H x 9.1\" L x 5.9\" W (1.1 lbs) 304 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis item is \u003cstrong\u003eReturnable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFern Schumer Chapman\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eis the author of several award-winning books, including Motherland, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award.
