Overview
"'Ten Essays' is a collection of narrative and memoir essays that explores what happens after a family fractures. Beginning with her mother's obsession with restoring old houses and the aftermath of her father's abrupt departure, the narrator examines both herself and her family through the lens of repeating patterns, unexpected symbols, and inherited dysfunction. In an honest portrait of her family, the narrator traces pivotal moments in her rural childhood, discovering truths hidden in the collective, often flawed memories of her family members, and examines how they've driven her own decisions through young adulthood. As her family rebuilds, the narrator strives to find a sense of self-worth and grows to accept her parents as whole and flawed individuals." -- Abstract
