Secrets come in all shapes and sizes. And for families as well as
individuals, they are built on a complex web of shifting motives
and emotions. But today, when personal revelations are posted on
the Internet or sensationalized on afternoon talk shows, we risk
losing touch with how important secrets are -- how they are used
and abused, their power to harm and heal.
In this important work, Evan Imber-Black explores the nature of
secrets, helping us understand:
-- The distinction between healthy privacy and toxic secrecy
-- What to tell -- and not to tell -- young children
-- How to safely confront a family "zone of silence"
-- Why adolescents need to have some secrets -- and where to draw
the line
-- The effect of "official" secrets, like sealed adoption records
and medical testing
-- What to consider before revealing an important secret
-- And much more
Filled with moving first-person stories, The Secret Life of
Families provides perspective on some of today's most sensitive
personal and social issues. Giving voice to our deepest fears and
to our power to overcome them, this is a book that will be talked
about for years to come.
