Enough with the Secrets, Mama! is the gripping tale, told by the daughter of a difficult yet self-empowered Matriarch, of a family who holds many secrets. The story follows Lin's family as they journey from her mother's origins in the Dominican Republic, to Puerto Rico, and throughout the east coast of the United States, to find their way in the country they've chosen to call home. Lin finds herself struggling to live a "normal" childhood, as she's sandwiched between her drug-addled brother and free-spirited sister, both of whom demand much of their mother's attention. As a survivor of child molestation, sexual, and emotional abuse, Lin yearns for a close relationship with her mother and tries to earn it by being the ?good child.? But as life's circumstances continue getting in the way, Lin fears that she will lose her grasp on the mother-daughter relationship.The twists and turns in Lin's own life motivate her to create a world that is worthy of her existence. Despite the rejection and trauma she's endured along the way, she's determined to break generational curses and set a new course for herself and her family. Enough with the Secrets, Mama! is written to women who are frustrated by self-perceived emotional neglect, who are looking to spare themselves the grief that comes with developing detrimental relational habits in life and are determined to carve out their own destiny.
