Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extremely dysfunctional family unites in the 90s due to the tragic death of their mother. Suicide? Undiagnosed mental illness? Most people never spoke of or knew about bi-polar or other subtle mental imbalances in the decades before the new millennium. Shocking and life altering secrets revealed about family members finally cleanse their troubled souls and bring them back into each others arms. This was the unaccomplished goal the mother figure, Myrna, wanted for years. The pain of self-inflicted guilt is worse than confessing their decades-long secrets.
