Trauma can send shockwaves running through the extended family and this book can help repair some of the damage caused. In my family's case, disagreements with my late aunt's husband about the inscription on her tombstone led to a massive rift. While I still maintain that the simple epitaph "Queen of Porn" was inappropriate (if accurate), I can respect that it was my uncle's prerogative to have chosen the wording of the headstone. This book has helped the healing process.
