She recalls the pair at 5 and 3, sharing a bedroom; in the second part of the book she depicts the siblings sitting quietly, as Keaton holds her ailing brother�s hand. In between these moments of intimacy, Keaton admits to long periods of estrangement from Randy, who �took failure and wore it the way Hester Prynne wore her scarlet letter,� spending an isolated life writing, collaging, drinking, and existing by grace of the support�financial and otherwise�of his parents and sisters . . .
