If you grew up in a family that was "silent" about any issue this book is great to help walkthrough and process your emotions at that time.
"The more time i took to consider the trauma we had all been through, the easier i understood that two seemingly contradictory truths can exist simultaneously. My parents could be warm and loving but also reckless and flawed. Our family life could have been happy despite the tragedies"
People are lot more complicated than we give credit, and this has helped me process my parents and upbringing through a new lens.
Highly recommend!
