We Are All Completely Beside OurselvesWe Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

"Meet the Cooke family: Mother and Dad, brother Lowell, sister Fern, and Rosemary, who begins her story in the middle. She has her reasons. 'I was raised with a chimpanzee,' she explains. 'I tell you Fern was a chimp and, already, you aren't thinking of her as my sister... Until Fern's expulsion... she was my twin, my fun-house mirror, my whirlwind other half... I loved her as a sister." As a child, Rosemary never stopped talking. Then, something happened and Rosemary wrapped herself in silence." -- Back cover.
