This is a story about love in all it’s different kinds of forms throughout life that we might experience – romantic, familial, platonic. It’s also about how people deal with trauma and grief. Especially the generational trauma that comes with family and our ancestry.
It asks some very big questions about what we are as children of our parents. What is our responsibility if they have done very terrible things? it’s really hard to grapple with the fact that you yourself might not be a perpetrator of violence, but that does not mean you were exempt from the effects of the generational violence of those who came before you.
it is such a hard read, so many tears were shed. but it is very worth while to see the story of how love and forgiveness can begin healing.
