I have to admit, it is an epic story. It is the most difficult story she has had to ever write. There were many tears and words written at 2am. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt talks about a family who has endured trauma throughout 2 or likely more generations and how 2 individuals passed the trauma to their child(ren).
