Publisher's Synopsis
'There are two things that my sister's death taught me: You can't lose someone you love, and every cruelty imaginable actually exists.' In Still Here, photographer Vivian Rutsch sets out to find answers to questions surrounding the deaths of her seventeen-year-old sister and her father, the sexual abuse in her family, and the inadequate investigations. In doing so, she stumbled upon a social phenomenon of unexplained deaths in Germany. Photographs, diary entries, illustrations, and texts tell the inexplicable story of a family in a way that is both gripping and personal.
