My Sister's Continent is a contemporary retelling of Freud's infamous Dora case study, following a loosely parallel plot and containing similarly controversial sexual themes and layers of possibilities. Kirby is a young woman attempting to come to terms with a failed bout of therapy while concurrently trying to decipher the truth about her identical twin Kendra's life. When she is sent a skewed case study of herself by her former psychiatrist, she decides to respond by using Kendra's journals to reconstruct her final months with her sister and her brief time in therapy, finally creating her own version of the truth.
