Dear Sister is a book that will have a lasting memory on the reader. This is not a easy reader and if you have difficulties reading about Domestic abuse, SA, physical abuse/torture, this is not going to be the book for you, this is a very heavy content book depicting horrific acts of violence often times in detail.

With that being said Dear Sister is a well written captivating story written by Michelle who is the older sister of of Nikki Addimando who is accused of killing her abuser and how the justice system failed her and her family. The sadness and rage I felt reading about what Nikki went through at the hands of her partner and how the justice system fails victims of domestic abuse, was so much that at times I had to just put it down and try not to think about what it means to be a female in this day and age. 

There really is no "silver lining" to Nikki's story other than the women who fought in her army to help keep her out of prison. That love and support is evident throughout Dear sister with the stories Michelle shares of the bond and love Nikki's children have for her, the love of female friends who when no one else but them knew, tried to have a plan of action for her to get out. But at the end of the day someone was murdered and justice does need to be served. But how does one justify sending a victim to prison? I can't really find more words to describe other than this is a profound story that needs to be shared and read.
