Pandora has looked up to her older brother Edison since they were children. Now she revels in the anonymity of her suburban Iowa life, while her brother basks in the limelight as a New York jazz musician. But when Edison arrives in Iowa, suddenly in need of a place to stay, Pandora literally doesn't recognize him. The once slim, hip pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened?\n\nWith Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy, Big Brother asks: just how much should you sacrifice for someone who refuses to be saved?
