Inside my family, uncomfortable subjects and emotions were avoided. For years I yearned to break away, to leave behind the world based on conformity and lies, and to escape the stifling environment of my family's life.

Yet I discovered over the years that the world I had left behind had not entirely left me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis memoir began as an attempt to preserve my family's history, but in the process became much more.
