Very good book reflecting on her own views of family relations, echoed a lot of my own feelings. Helped me see that I am not crazy and that it represents a lot of what I am going through

Helpful for people who have chosen to be estranged from family members.

After reading "Brave Girl Eating", I started to pay attention to the books written by this author. This book is a little heartbreaking because almost eight out of nine chapters, the author was narrating the the estrangement with abundant examples. Yes, she did a lot of research writing this book, but I am a little lost in the point that the author tries to make.

Considering how few books I’ve been able to find on the topic of adults choosing to live estranged from their parents (why is this topic THAT taboo?), I’m so grateful for Brown sharing her story (and research). It wasn’t full of as much wisdom (or maybe answers?) as I would have hoped, but made me feel less alone, which definitely made this read worthwhile.
