A Sister To You
When Freya Green committed suicide at seventeen years old, her older sister, Saffron Price (formally Saffron Green) needed to know if she was the reason. To say the Green sisters had it rough growing up would be an understatement. They traveled from home to home in the foster system until finally being adopted by their reckless aunt, who couldn't give them much other than a roof over their heads. Being eight years older, Saffron was quick to take on the role of motherhood over her sister Freya. This ended when Saffron married at eighteen and moved across the country, leaving ten-year-old Freya to fend for herself and spend the rest of her childhood and coming-of-age years alone. Going back to the trailer park in Bakersfield, where the Green sisters spent their last years together and, also, where Freya took her life, Saffron sets off with a quest to get to know her sister all over again. She seeks out the foster homes they lived in, revisits old family members, and questions everyone Freya knew. Each person she questions brings her closer to discovering Freya's deepest darkest secrets, and the reasons she had for committing suicide. Written in second person, A SISTER TO YOU explores in depth the stages of grief and the strength of the human psyche.Complete
