Synopsis

A four-year-old sits on a hot Mississippi curb, clutching a pink suitcase, waiting for the fake family her mother called to take her away. If you recognize that feeling, this book was written for you.

Suzanne Groves spent five decades as the scapegoat child of a covert narcissist, performing goodness to earn love that was always being recalculated. This memoir navigates emotional neglect, gaslighting, and the invisible wounds that leave no marks but shape everything. It does not offer tidy resolution. It offers something rarer: recognition.

• Understand the patterns of narcissistic parents and toxic family dynamics
• See your own experience reflected in a story of survival and complex grief
• Navigate the weight of being a caregiver for parents who never truly cared for you
• Reclaim your identity after years of parentification and emotional abuse
• Begin healing from family trauma without needing the apology that never came

Raw, darkly funny, and achingly honest, this memoir proves that surviving such a childhood without losing your heart is its own remarkable achievement.

"Suzanne Groves explores, without excuses, the challenging relationship she had with her father. Her recollections of the minute details and reactions to her interactions with him are vivid and evocative of the deep desire she had to gain his approval. An approval she never got, no matter how hard she tried." —Katharine O'Connor, Ph.D., LPC

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Growing up as an Air Force brat, Suzanne Groves relied on her imagination and innate curiosity to weather several early-life relocations and other life complications. An avid reader from a young age, Suzanne went on to earn her B.A. in English from The University of Texas at Austin and later, her M.A. in History from The University of Texas at Arlington. She parlayed her degrees into a successful advertising and marketing career, during which she received numerous national and international awards for creative excellence. Additionally, in 2020, she was named a "Top Woman in Communication" in the Visionary category by Ragan Communications/PR Daily, and in 2014, she was named a "Great Woman of Texas" by the Fort Worth Business Journal. The author of two books, Suzanne now writes women's contemporary fiction. When she's not working on her own manuscripts or editing for others, Suzanne travels with her husband, works to keep up with her perpetually shedding German Shepherd Dog (and cat), persists at bass fishing (versus catching, which rarely happens), and engages in literary shenanigans with her fellow authors.Visit Suzanne at: https: //www.suzannegroves.com
