I love memoirs and research based books and this book was phenomenal. Estrangement is a taboo topic, and this book brings so much understanding and empathy to the subject. I think it would make many people feel seen, including me, and make the experience of having toxic family members and needing clear boundaries a less isolating experience.
I wish I had known Harriet Brown was a professor at Syracuse while I was a student there!
