Join us for a book talk with Michelle Horton, author of Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival, and Unbreakable Bonds, followed by discussion with representatives from Project SAGE and Larissa Vreeland, member of The Nicole Addimando Community Defense Committee.

In September 2017, a knock on the door upended Michelle Horton’s life: her sister, Nicole Addimando, had just shot her partner and was now in jail. During the investigation that follows, Michelle learns that Nikki had been hiding horrific abuse for years. Michelle cares for Nikki’s children and launches a fight to bring Nikki home, squaring off against a criminal justice system that seems designed to punish the entire family. In this exquisite memoir, Michelle also explores how so many people, including herself, could have been blind to the abuse.
