Uncovering old family secrets leads Wendyl Nissen to a better
understanding of her mother. When Wendyl Nissen's mother was
suffering with Alzheimer's, she told some extraordinary stories
about her background that Wendyl had never heard before. Determined
to get to the bottom of these family secrets, Wendyl found some
wild and intriguing stories of loss, grief and love. She uncovered
new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh parenting, complex
marriages and a few rogues. These stories often highlighted how
tough life was for women and children in an era when women had to
fight for every bit of independence they gained. This compelling,
moving book is about mothers and daughters, ageing and the way deep
family traumas echo down through the generations. It is also
spliced with wisdom on caring for someone with dementia.
