Overview
"This memoir details my childhood growing up in a chaotic family unit consisting of a mother with a personality disorder, a hardworking yet homophobic father, an older half-sister facing her own familial issues, and a younger brother born with a rare terminal illness that should have killed him before he was two years old. Equal parts a "coming of age" and "coming out" narrative, this text delves into the nuance of familial love during times of extreme hardship and explores the lengths to which some adults would go to keep their families safe but their secrets safer. Though the manuscript contains many scenes involving trauma that is emotionally heavy, this is ultimately a story about a family trying their best to keep themselves together––both individually and as a unit––in the face of extremely difficult and unpredictable life events." -- Abstract
