Mysteries Within Oprah’s Familial Bonds

Oprah Winfrey’s early life was shadowed by the unrevealed truth of a fourth sibling given up for adoption, besides growing up with her two younger half-siblings, Patricia and Jeffrey. The family kept the existence of another Patricia a secret.

In a touching revelation in 2010, Oprah discovered her other half-sister, also named Patricia. Tragically, by this time, she had already lost her sister to complications related to cocaine and her brother to AIDS. However, this reunion brought her a new sister, niece, and nephew.
