They reflect on the single, transforming episode that defined each of them as an only child. For some it came while lurking around the edges of a friend's boisterous family, longing to be part of the chaos. For others, it came in sterile hospital halls, while single-handedly caring for a parent with cancer. They write about the parents who raised them, from the devoted to the dismissive. They describe what it's like to be an only child of divorce, an only because of the death of a sibling, an only who reveled in it or an only who didn't.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Only child 700 1 $a Siegel, Deborah. 700 1 $a Uviller, Daphne. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip066/2005037757.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0701/2005037757-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0701/2005037757-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0702/2005037757-s.html 939 $a 5724763 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528034340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAAB2B2A2B0D11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b KAY 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
