Sibling Stories

The Bible is rife with complex sibling dramas. Sisters vie to marry the same man. Brothers cheat one another; or they trick and torture the youngest, who never looks for revenge. A woman sees her brothers slay her beloved. A teen first rescues her baby brother afloat in a river, then finds him an adoptive mom.

Lilith recently asked our readers and social media followers to share their own sibling stories, briefly. Next, with illustrations of non-human siblings, is a sample of the accounts that landed in our inbox. More sibling tales from readers at Lilith.org.
