Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a difficult time talking to my mother, who constantly told me that I could always come home. I wanted to reply that I would work myself past the white meat, down to the bone, and fistfight every stranger I ran across on the street before we lived under the same roof again. #2 I was trying to make pasta for my boyfriend, Kelly, and I was not a disaster cook. I was able to feed myself food that I knew felt good and tasted good. I was trying to lose myself in the process of creating a meal. #3 I had recurring nightmares about one of my brothers dying. I was relieved to hear that none of my siblings was hurt, and my mother did not do or say anything wrong. #4 I was tempted to take the bait when my mother offered me empathy. I was desperate to find a way to connect with her, but I was afraid that if I called her back, we would fight.
