I Hate You, Mary Sullivan: A Memoir of Inherited Trauma - Paperback

by Barbara J. Williams (Author)

Only in Ireland does Barbara Williams unlock the secrets of her late grandmother's troubled personality-and her own anxiety. Their Kenny ancestors were farm laborers who had endured famines, violent uprisings, and forced eviction threats. Her Nana, Mary Sullivan, had never breathed a word of it. As Williams uncovers this painful past, she calls forth a love that heals her relationship with Nana fifty years after her death. Their intertwined stories, infused with Celtic spirituality and scientific insight, help unravel the mysteries that bind us all to our ancestors.
