this book spoke to me about how difficult it is to deal with parent(s) who keep secrets,huge secrets from their family and their children.
it is amazing how the author was able to piece together his mother's strange life from being in the convent twice to marrying at an older age and changing her age.How this child lived thru it all and only come out with a panic disorder is amazing!
