Review
Why do families keep generational secrets? The longer the secrets are kept the more painful it can be when the truth comes out.
Please, please, please don’t let secrets destroy the people that you love.


The author must have had a difficult life. I hope writing her book was a healing process and helps others too.

Sounds rough. We all have people in our families who keep secrets. Some we only know after they die and some we never know.
