My Sister My Sister

Her mother was an evangelist, and her father a very likeable but contentious alcoholic. Her sister became a whore early in life

One night after the father has left the family, mother plans a pilgrimage to another town; and so this is the night that sister decides to bring home a white man and initiate the younger girl in the rites of sex

Sensing trouble, however, mother returns unexpectedly and discovers all. Ever since that night, sister has disappeared, and the girl has gone searching for her everywhere, ending up a prostitute herself

Her one remaining hope is her lover, who has made her pregnant
