Between Sisters

Carol Saline’s sister is Patsy. Sharon J. Wohlmuth’s sister is Beth. The journalist and the photographer joined forces to explore what they know: Sisterhood is one of the most powerful relationships a woman can have. In “Sisters” (Running Press, 1994) they capture kinswomen of all sorts. Like Anna Margaret Kale, above, making plans for new sister Hannah Marie. Or the Cunninghams--Katie, Charlene and Julie--all battling breast cancer. And bride-to-be Linda with Susan Karlin. Then there’s Bernetta and Margaret Crommarty, who’ve shared secrets for decades. Janice and Elizabeth Coffey, right, once as close as brother and sister, are now closer after Elizabeth’s sex change. Each showcases a special bond--the ties of blood, memory and emotion.
