That Went Well


That Went Well: Adventures in Caring for My Sister by Terrell Harris Dougan is based on her life and caring for her sister, Irene, who has a cognitive disability from an injury at birth. This memoir begins with her parents decision to keep Irene at home instead of sending her into an institution and the impact that had on the family in the 1950's in Utah. Terrell and her family find humor even in the most difficult times. This story is an honest look into the lifelong relationship of taking care of a sister who has a cognitive disability while caring for her own family.
