Description: The people we love and those who raised us live inside us. We experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, and these things shape our lives in ways we don't always recognize. Atlas shows that family secrets can keep us from living to our full potential, and haunt us like ghosts. Here she helps us identify the links between our life struggles and the "emotional inheritance" we all carry. -- adapted from jacket
Review Quotes: "Atlas's heady and beautiful book offers much insight, as well as tools for beginning to unpack the stories we're living, stories that aren't actually ours to live."--Oprah Daily
