Sometimes families are hard. Not all families get along as well as they’ve wish. Family secrets held for decades only complicate the matter. Sometimes even though we try too many painful memories are associated so we distance ourselves. Only once we have a family of our own, do we realise how much we miss. The story is beautiful as we here through both the mother and her daughters eye their experiences as they go to visit the maternal grandma the pay both hardly know. A story that highlights family mobility, gender bias and abuse to a point that makes you question how your family works. From the eyes of a young girl we begin to learn that for many reasons the problems are deeper imprinted than maybe we first thought. However not all secrets are what we think.
