ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The House We Grew Up In" by Lisa Jewell tells the story of the Bird family and the profound impact of their mother Lorelei's compulsive hoarding on their lives. The narrative follows the siblings as they navigate their increasingly chaotic home, leading to strained relationships and their eventual dispersal. Years later, following a death, the family is forced to confront their past and the secrets buried within the walls of their childhood home. The book explores themes of family dynamics, the burden of memory, and the arduous journey towards healing and reconciliation in the face of deeply ingrained issues.
