It&#8217;s a book that just really landed with people I think in a certain way, especially in how the book regards and reflects things like cycles of abuse and cascading trauma and all that &#8212; but also that it&#8217;s a book where at the core it&#8217;s a book about a family that loves each other and not a family that destroys itself with its secrets. (Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with books featuring the opposite. But I just think some people connect with these characters in a variety of ways.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(At least, that&#8217;s my hope.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(It also sells pretty well, even still!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(I don&#8217;t know why!
