Marilyn Monroe's only sibling, Berniece, has broken a long silence and told the story of a 25-year relationship with her half-sister, Norma Jeane Baker, lived through visits, letters and phone calls. This is the story of the private person, the sister, the daughter and the aunt. The woman who sent her family her favourite dresses, warned them to protect their privacy, and who tried to provide her schizophrenic mother with a home even as her own world fell into trouble and disarray.
