The Jewish Book World says that "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has "tenderness as well as lacerating detail."
Thanks, Jewish Book World!
About Me
- jessica handler
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Congratulations:)
I really loved reading your book. I identified with your writing as I lost me best friend after 42 years of friendship and it was like losing a sister. I couldn't imagine losing my birth sister and being able to pick up the pieces and write a memoir like you have done so eloquently.
Hi, madge w - thank you so much for the kind comments, and I agree with you that best friends are like sisters.
