“Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened.

And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from.”
