description: Family members write their collective story from their individual perspectives. As Julie learns to first silence, then unleash and finally temper her inner voice and seeker, Lee struggles to maintain integrity with his roots and his wife, versus his own. Their love held them together through sexual imbalances and adultery, but eventually Julie came to realize she needed to live with integrity to herself. It was the perfect life that was suffering behind closed doors. Their daughter, fearful of what loomed ahead with the word divorce, shares her own memories, questions and advice. At 14, she leads an abnormally normal family life, where she recognizes it is up to each of us to seek happiness, while accepting life’s challenges and sorrows. Each chapter ends with a commentary on historical, sociological and philosophical concepts, along with questions to contemplate, whether you are already married or considering marriage, a partnership or any relationship that begins, manifests and ends.
