This is a book its author, Patricia Olsen, says she could have used. Her brothers' drinking, she writes, "tromped on every aspect" of their lives; it also tromped on her life as she visited them in the hospital or tried to help them with housing. Written with addiction specialist Petros Levounis, "Sober Siblings" combines emotional support with practical guidance.
