Abalone: A Story of Two Sisters Love, Loss and Genetic Possibility

Description

Two sisters as different as night and day face an overwhelming genetic condition. One sister has the condition. The other one does not. This is the incredible true story of their love for one another. Memories, recipes, and poetry are a part of this endearing story meant to touch the heart and allow us to understand the journey of grief, both its beauty and deep meaning in our lives. Our memories fade or sometimes become unintentional in their perspective. Maybe we remember things better than they were or worse.... but memory can be a wonderful gift to our hearts and life. Remembering, though painful, is beautiful.
