The Prodigal Brother: Making Peace with Your Parents, Your Past and the Wayward One in Your Family

Having a prodigal affects families profoundly--especially a sibling who has remained obedient. Sue Thompson shares her story of struggle, shame, and hope in "The Prodigal Brother." Recognizing the unresolved anger that the sibling may experience, this book offers ways to heal the pain of feeling second place in a parent's attention. Thompson writes with sensitivity about forgiving a wayward brother or sister without excusing the behavior. Anyone who has been "the good kid" in the family will find answers, understanding, and the knowledge needed to unload the emotional baggage of growing up with a prodigal in the home.
