Cat's Reviews > Hazard: A Sister's Flight from Family and a Broken Boy

As an only child, I can't imagine what it's like to grow up with siblings. I've given plenty enough thought to the subject over the years based on what I've seen in families around me and it's not always good. But to have an ill sibling, or one with some type of handicap, has got to be nigh on unbearable for the healthy siblings of that child! No matter what they achieve, no matter what they do, they are burdened with and overshadowed by the ONE. I have seen only two of these types of families and feel so very, very sorry for the normal siblings. No one notices them. Everyone in the family becomes the ONE's care taker. Stifling... so tragic for everyone. Exhausting. And the poor kids have to raise themselves as the parents have little time to devote any time to the "normals."
The story is worth reading if you aren't familiar with this theme. It's a good look into how families like this work.
I received a Kindle ARC in exchange for a fair review from Netgalley.
