There are so many things that happen when you're growing up - your school, your friendships, the base of what you really are, and she knows all that. We'll often talk about something and I'll say, that's like 'such-n-such'- our logic getting into it will be the same because of our experiences growing up. We'll laugh about whatever. She knows my shorthand. There's always someone that will understand that part of you without you having to explain it. There's always someone who will be there - it's unconditional - it's not about impressing someone or worrying about stepping on someone's toes. It's just that - she's there.

Take a look at what TIME MAGAZINE said about the workshop

"The Bouncing Back Better Workshop was an excellent investment of time and money in helping me to move forward in dealing with this life altering event. Past counsellors have not had the empathy that Vikki has and really have not been able to help me understand why my heart has been so completely "shattered". The Workshop has given me inspiration and hope that I can move forward and create a happy life." Workshop Participant

A NEW SESSION EVERY MONTH! email Vikki for details.

Based on interviews and questionnaires from 400 women, teens and girls world-wide, My Sister, My Self explores the indelible stamp that being a sister makes on our identities. Whether the relationship was close, or conflicted, or somewhere in between, that life-long bond largely shapes who we are.

My Sister, My Self shows that the mere fact of having grown up as an older, younger, middle or twin sister significantly affects how we feel about ourselves as adults. It influences many of the choices we make - the occupation we choose, our circle of friends, our love relationships, and even how we get along with our mothers and daughters.

My Sister, My Self also explores those sister relationships characterized by caretaking, conflict or extreme closeness. It offers suggestions to help women improve or accept challenging sister connections.



The Quebec Writers' Federation Judges' Reaction to the Book

Stark’s thoroughly researched, enlightened take on the sister dynamic is fascinating. Her research was extensive and she used many clever anecdotes to back up her findings and sum up points-of-view.

Stark’s book brings new meaning to the phrase “the personal is the political,” in that she gives issues between women a new weight and applies to them the kind of in-depth study normally reserved for the political area or power dynamics.

It’s very clear she’s personally invested in the book… there’s a warmth and energy embedded in the narrative.
