About this listen

A mother’s final words in her deathbed echo the struggle of her lifetime—an echo that still resounds in the hearts of her family. Her sweet children—angry, abusive, confused, and tortured people—all share a dose of her struggle and continue to carry that heavy burden of her rearing.

These are stories that have not strayed too far from reality, even if the aching and death are a bit exaggerated, if only just to highlight the injury of the reality which birthed them.

These are stories from the heart—a heart so poisoned and so riddled with ugliness and bleakness.

But even within all that darkness, these are stories which gesture toward hope, and which show how family can be both a lifelong curse, but also a cleansing remedy for the long lineage of pain from which its members are born.

This book is the story of a family, as brutal as matricide, and as gentle as a mother’s goodnight lullaby.
