Linda Ivy Cooper is standing before the house of her childhood when she begins to reveal the horrific deeds that took place within the walls. “On one hand (She Ain’t My Sister) is a frightening book and on the other, a hopeful one. It is very, very powerful.” Laurie Rosin, Book Editor

To lose a child
Tonight my fingers rest on the keys unable to make a stroke on the computer screen. What do I write to a young mother who has lost her baby? 11years ago my own child was in a serious car accident. I remember every moment of that day. I arrived home from a trip to CO. I pulled a suitcase over the threshold, arriving just in time to hear the telephone ring. I still had ahold of the luggage handle when I reached across the breakfast bar to lift the receiver from the cradle. It was the call.........the one where time stops and the ringing in your head almost deafens the words being delivered to your ear.
