Wilkerson weaves so many topics about family, betrayal, neglect, forgiveness, and choices here. The protagonist learns that her parents aren’t really her parents and struggles to piece together a whole past and simply be present.

I really enjoyed this short because it made you think about your parents and the lies and secrets they make keep from you. Are lies kept secret for protection or safety? When should they be told?

Wilkerson is great in making readers think so deeply about who is family and what we consider wrong or right in this story.

4.5 stars.
