Remembering Ruth: A Memoir of Childhood Sibling Loss

JUDY EICHINGER WAS TWO AND A HALF when her beloved sister Ruth was born with one kidney shriveled and the other severely damaged. She died at age fifteen. For many years, Judy couldn’t mention Ruth’s name or talk about her loss. Events finally forced her to confront her feelings and work through her grief, anger, and loneliness.  This book movingly captures, moment to moment,

that journey from a life of despair to one of fulfillment—in the hope of helping others who lost a sibling growing up.
