In her remarkable photographic essay, Sisterhood of Recovery, Julia Rendleman introduces us to two sisters in a jail in central Virginia—both participants in a peer heroin addiction recovery program—and their mother on the outside, raising one of the sisters’ four children.  Photographed over multiple occasions from 2017 to 2020, we get a glimpse of the toll of the opioid crisis, and how incarceration affects entire families and communities, not just the person behind bars.
