Long description

A practical guide for rebuilding a healthy relationship with your adult siblings Rivalry, jealousy, pent--up anger, decades--old grudges, tension, and strife for many brothers and sisters, these emotions remain well into adult life. Often, they can overshadow the love that siblings genuinely feel for each other.

With dramatic anecdotes of real families and sensitive insight into individual and family dynamics, Goldenthal outlines why adult siblings fight and shares practical action steps showing how they can develop healthy relationships despite the hurts of the past.
