Unraveling Bloodlines: How "Relative Strangers" Redefines Family and Belonging
Parents also feel shame. Shame for keeping secrets. Shame for infidelity. Shame for giving up a child to a stranger. Shame for lying. Shame.
The audience for Relative Strangers is most certainly those who have experienced the trials set out between the covers. I have, and felt a great sense of validation and ‘being seen’ while reading. I also felt an abundance of compassion for the brave contributors. But this book is also for the uninitiated, so they might better understand and appreciate not only their privilege, but why those around them who were born a secret wish to reveal it.
