Sample Book Insights:
#1 I learned to keep my back to the wall and my eyes on my mother at all times. She was constantly angry, and would sometimes throw things at my father to get his attention.
#2 I wished I could go back in time and fix my parents’ marriage. I imagined they had been happy, but their marriage was already curdling. Their disagreements had multiplied and spread like a cancer, until they had trapped themselves inside one big argument.
#3 I understood that something significant was shifting in my parents’ marriage, and I tried to make sense of it by eavesdropping on their conversations.
#4 I learned that men are disappointing. They promise you the moon, but don’t bring home enough money for groceries. I overheard my mom say that dad might lose his job because his boss was doing something called downsizing.
