Oprah's secret sister revealed

This is the first time it seems Oprah Winfrey has been rendered speechless, but wouldn't you if you found out you had a half-sister?

Oprah only found out about Patricia - single mother of two and her half sister - late last year while Patricia has know about the connection since 2007.

Vernita Lee, Oprah's mother, gave birth to Patricia in secrete with Oprah was just 9 and staying with her father. Vernita then gave Patricia up for adoption. Patricia, was was in foster homes since age 7, kept the knowledge of her connection to Oprah secret because she knew it would create a media frenzy, "she (Patricia) never once thought to go to the press. She never even thought to sell her story," Winfrey said.
