Behind Closed Doors: Families Forged and Fractured

Authors Sarah Damoff and Jennifer Haigh delicately explore tenuous family ties and shrouded histories in their conversation on love, loss, and life. In The Bright Years, Damoff traces four generations of a Texas family shaped by hidden addiction, a secret son, and the long path back to connection. In Rabbit Moon, Haigh unpacks the emotional wreckage of a broken marriage as two parents reunite at their injured daughter’s bedside in Shanghai, forced to confront what tore their family apart. These stories reveal how silence can fracture a family — and how truth might piece it back together.
