Every House Had a Secret chronicles the life of siblings growing up in the 1960s-70s America amid family secrets, generational pain, and cycles of abuse. Born into a home already fractured by manipulation and denial, the author faces relentless emotional abuse and control from her father.  She guides us through a family struggling beneath the surface of an ordinary neighborhood.  This book unpacks intense themes: including a sister kidnapped at age seven, later attacked again as a teen; a brother who runs away; and a life marked by constant relocations-including a period of homelessness.
