"There is nothing gentle or elegiac about the tone of Eileen
Garvin's How to Be a Sister, and while there's self-awareness,
there's a welcome lack of extended self-analysis. The focus instead
is squarely on the author's sister, Margaret, diagnosed as autistic
at 3 years old. . . . Garvin's storytelling abilities are strong,
and her fierce, protective love for Margaret, whom she brings to
stinging life on the page, gives this book real power.-- "The
Washington Post"
