Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This a tale told by members of a family. Each story highlights the journey of that person and provides a unique perspective. Some say that there are three sides to every story but I challenge that point of view. There is as many sides to a story as the number of people that bear witness to the story plus one. It is not to say that any story is not true but stories are skewed by the storytellers' perception. Every story highlights a family secret. Some secrets are kept because the truth is so hurtful and shameful it can potentially endanger the very fiber of the family unit. No matter what the motivation for secrecy, when the truth comes out, as it often does, the ties that bind the family together are made either stronger or completely destroyed. I invite you to witness the journey of these characters, observe their drama, and watch their growth. These stories will make you laugh, cry, shake your head, get angry, feel empathy, and even think about someone you know.
