Book Preview:

#1 Laura grew up with a mother who was bipolar. Her mother had her good moments, but her untreated bipolar disorder worsened as she got older. Laura’s days were punctuated with put-downs that caught her off guard as she walked across the living room.

#2 John’s parents met in Asia when his father was deployed there as an army officer. After a whirlwind romance, their marriage was troubled, and John felt their relationship was never close. He often intervened when his parents fought, and he felt his father never appreciated him or his brother.

#3 John’s father was a narcissist, and he grew up with a lot of insecurity and self-doubt. He could never let his girlfriend know how crippled he was by the shame and grief he carried inside.

#4 Georgia’s parents were emotionally distant and controlling. Her father was a borderline alcoholic, and her mother would occasionally just blow up over nothing. Georgia spent much of her childhood trying to anticipate and move out of the way of her parents’ anger.
