Family stories. Family secrets. Every family has them. Family storytellers are expected to exaggerate stories which stress family values, positive events and successes, while downplaying or ignoring stories that do not comfortably fit the family narrative. These stories are different. Laugh, cringe, wince, squirm, bawl, howl, whatever your reaction, kick back and relish the honest emotion. These stories, these secrets--they are told with joy, pain, sorrow, and wonder. The wonder of survival, the wonder of resilience.
