Memorist Meg Kissinger’s Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

The Kissinger family, from the outside, looked like the American dream. Big Catholic family, beautiful home in the Chicago suburbs, vacations, country clubs, and success. But behind the doors of that home were secrets, untreated mental illness, alcoholism, silence, and two suicides. Meg’s book isn’t just a memoir, it’s an unflinching look at how silence, stigma and systems collide.
