Susan Landeis traces a family story shaped by her mother’s unpredictable behavior, rejection, and abandonment, beginning with a childhood she eventually leaves behind at sixteen. When her mother later becomes seriously ill, caregiving brings Susan back into contact with both parents and reopens unresolved questions. The memoir follows her effort to confront the past after her mother’s death, examine patterns of dysfunction across generations, and pursue a different future for her own family. Loss, caregiving, forgiveness, compassion, and faith frame this personal account of seeking peace with a difficult family legacy.

Book overview

Susan always knew her relationship with her mother was different from that of other mothers and daughters. As a young girl, she struggled to cope with her mother's unpredictable behavior, rejection, and abandonment.

At the age of sixteen, she left home and put it all behind her. Years later, her mother was diagnosed with a devastating illness, and Susan was suddenly faced with the difficult decision to care for both of her parents.

In this inspiring, soul-searching memoir, Susan tells the story of a troubled childhood, her struggles as an adult, and her determination to find peace with her mother before it's too late.

After her mother's death, Susan confronted a haunting past to seek answers and break the chain of dysfunction in her family.

Accompany Susan on her healing journey as she comes full circle with a family legacy and discovers compassion, forgiveness, and faith in her own future.
