My Father’s Suitcase, interview with author Mary Garden

My Father’s Suitcase: A story of family secrets, abuse, betrayal and breaking free, from author Mary Garden.

 This book is a must read, and it should be made into a movie.  

A deeply personal and heart-breaking memoir that explores troubled relationships. 

Mary unpacks her life of growing up and reveals complex layers of intergenerational trauma, including the baggage of her eccentric, deeply flawed father and the secret her mother kept from all of them, revealed only after her death. 

Mary deals movingly with her sister’s long battle with mental illness and shining a light on sibling abuse. 

A story filled with guilt and shame familiar to anyone who has had to deal with secrets, violence and ‘madness’ in their family.
