Families can be terrifying. Siblings are expected to be loving and supportive, but those bonds at times can turn acrimonious as a result of misunderstandings or disastrous events. Award-winning North Carolina writer Judy Goldman explores these intricacies in her new memoir, Losing My Sister. Raised in South Carolina, Judy and her elder sister Brenda were born and bred to be close, and early on were cast into set societal roles. Time changes people, but sometimes expectations don't, which caused rifts between the two as they grew older and raised their own families. Each separation eventually brought them back together until the diagnosis of breast cancer proved fatal and final to Brenda. She's at Quail Ridge at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and also at Mcintyre's Fine Books at 2 p.m. Saturday, Regulator Bookshop at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Flyleaf Books at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10. —Christina Cass
