Now in the final year of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Oprah is determined to go out with a bang. After being on the air for so many years, Oprah finds herself revisiting many topics. Some fans have grown tired of this and demanded something new. It turned out Oprah had something for them.

On Monday (January 24, 2011), Oprah dropped a bomshell on her viewers. She discussed her family life, which she has kept out of the public eye. Winfrey discussed her late sister, Pat, and their rocky relationship. Later in the show, she discussed her long lost sister, Patricia, and introduced her to the audience.

Ironically, Patricia and Pat shared the same name and were almost identical. Oprah told Patricia she had all of Pat's good qualities and was very similar to her. Patricia was searching for her biological mother when she discovered the news of a lifetime. Instead of going public, Patricia continued her search in private and she realized Oprah Winfrey was her half-sister.

Oprah thanked her for not taking the story public and praised her on the show. Today, Oprah went more in-depth discussing her new sister. She told Gayle King that she is taking things slow as she focuses on building a relationship with Patricia. Oprah said their main focus, for the time being, is trying to find care for their elderly mother. The sisters have shared one dinner, which took place on January 24, of this year. Oprah said her addition to the family is bringing much-needed peace.
