520    When Mikey is young, the Sullivans are a closely knit unit,
       all of them devoted to caring for her. But as Mikey grows 
       older, she also grows increasingly violent. By the time 
       she's twelve, institutionalization is the only available 
       option--and without the shared purpose of caring for Mikey,
       the family begins to unravel. As her family falls apart, 
       Teresa searches for relief and connection during a time of
       sweeping cultural change. Lacking maturity or guidance, 
       she makes choices that lead her down a sometimes-perilous 
       path. But regardless of the circumstances at home and the 
       tumult in their individual lives, the Sullivans are united
       in their love and concern for Mikey. In Mikey and Me, 
       Teresa interweaves her exceptional sister's journey with 
       her own, affirming the grace and brutality of Mikey's life,
       and its indelible effect on her family. Unflinching and 
       insightful, this is a deep exploration of the relationship
       between two sisters--one blind, with profound 
       developmental disabilities, unable to voice her own story,
       and the other with the heart and understanding to express 
       it exquisitely for her.  -- Publisher's description.
