Every Family Has A Story

In this Sunday Times bestseller, acclaimed psychotherapist Julia Samuel draws on her sessions with a wide variety of families, across multiple generations, to tell unforgettable stories of forgiveness, hope and love. Through eight beautifully told and insightful case studies, she analyses a range of common issues, from loss to leaving home, and from separation to step-relationships, and shows how much is, in fact, inherited -- and how much can be healed when it is faced together. Exploring the relationships that both touch us most and hurt us most, Julia offers moving and reassuring wisdom that is applicable to us all. Her twelve touchstones for family well-being -- from fighting productively to making time for rituals -- provide us with the tools to improve our relationships, and to create the families we wish for.
