I'm So Glad You're Here is the story of a family disrupted by ramifications of a father's mental illness. The memoir opens with a riveting account of Gay, age eighteen, witnessing her father being bound in a straitjacket and carried out of the house on a stretcher. The trauma she experiences escalates when, after her father has had electroshock treatments at a state mental hospital, her parents leave her in a college dorm room and move from Massachusetts to Florida without her. She feels abandoned. Both her parents have gone missing. Decades later, when Gay and her three much-older siblings show up for their father's funeral, she witnesses her sundered family's inability to gather together. Eventually, she is diagnosed with PTSD of abandonment and treated with EMDR therapy-and finally begins to heal. Poignant and powerful, I'm So Glad You're Here is Gay's exploration of the idea that while the wounds we carry from growing up in fractured families stay with us, they do not have to control us-a reflective journey that will inspire readers to think about their own relational lives.
