When the very darkest moments of Emma’s past finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was…

But first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.

Award-winning psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas draws on her patients’ stories—and her own life experiences—to shed light on how generational trauma affects our lives in this "intimate, textured, compassionate" book.

The people we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, and these things shape our lives in ways we don’t always recognize.

In this transformative book, Galit Atlas entwines the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades of research to help us identify the links between our life struggles and the “emotional inheritance” we all carry. For it is only by following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change our destiny.
