Meyers as a child who can’t make sense of the inevitable fights between her parents — the silence in the morning, the threats, the slammed doors, and the pots banging over breakfast. She knows the pattern but has never understood why. Now when she is twenty-eight and a mother of three, her mother finally makes good on her lifetime threats and commits suicide. And it changes everything! Linda will never be the woman she’s always been. She needs a creative, meaningful response to her mother’s death. Follow her journey to find out how she coped with the storm, left her marriage, went back to school and started a family business.
Inspiring and entertaining, The Tell: A Memoir by Linda I. Meyers will bring tears to the eyes of readers yet fill their hearts with warmth.
