Bertha is your narrator and she will share her feelings, her thoughts dealing with weight issues, bullying, feeling alone and having a sister that was always there for her every step of the way. Although at times it might sound as if Tillie (her sister) is part of the group picking on her, she is not. Tillie is smart, cute, thin and always wanted to be a Broadway star. But, fate steps in and things change for everyone in her family. These stories are told in no particular order. They were put together by the author in the order she wants them read. The stories are based on real life incidents that happened to us growing up. From my sister trying to teach me how to cook, to cleaning our room, we had some really fun times together. My sister passed away and I lost my partner in crime, antics and the one person who called me every morning to brighten my day. This book is dedicated to her and all sisters to let you know that you are blessed and lucky to have a sister in your life. My sister was my best friend, co-conspirator and champion. Some of the proceeds from this book will go to Montefiore/Einstein Hospital for a fund set up in memory of my mom, Ruth, who had Alzheimer's, and The Kessler Foundation who set up a fund in memory of my sister and best friend, Marcia Wallach. Marcia, Bertha and Tillie Forever is for you!
