MY BROTHER PETER by Nomi Berger ISBN #1552070107

"My brother Peter" should be a simple enough phrase to enunciate, but not so for Nomi Berger. For twenty-seven years she could not refer to her deceased brother by name. This book is her moving account of her own year-long investigation into the suspicious death of her then 19 year old beloved brother Peter. Was it murder or was it suicide? Why could she not have access to reports on his death? A very personable and intelligent young man, Peter dropped out of Bishop's University and became involved in drugs on the streets of Montreal. He renounced his mid- to upper- class background as the son of a prominent attorney to seek out the idealistic life as a "flower child" of the sixties. This book gives an excellent view of that decade "when many of a generation's best and brightest lost their way in the Garden." This account is a very moving story of love, loss, and ultimately of healing for the author. It is of particular interest to those of us who grew up in those times.
