My Dead Parents: A Memoir

It's like being in a therapist's office listening to someone pour our their life story! Anya Yurchyshyn has written a gut wrenching memoir of her life, spurred by finding years of letters between her parents that portrayed them in a way she did not recognize. The household was dysfunctional and Anya felt it in a way her older sister did not. She was relieved when each parent died,, one when she was 16 and the other when she was 32 years old. She found the letters clearing out her family home. In this wonderful memoir, she searches her memory to find her distant parents in the ardent letters that they wrote each other. She questions everything about the parents she thought she knew and seeks to find her own peace, something they did not. A wonderful book about a survivor.
