Poet and author Rhonda Douglas hosts a conversation on the deep family bonds that define and destroy us, that shape us and test us, and the complicated ways we love and are loved.
Daughter by Claudia Dey is an obsessive examination of the forces that drive us to become, to create and to break free. A tour de force about a woman, long caught in her charismatic father's web, who strives to make a life—and art—of her own.
To the Bridge by Yasuko Thanh, the bestselling author of Mistakes to Run With, is a heartrending tale of a mother hell-bent on saving her family after her daughter's suicide attempt—despite the destruction it might mean for herself. It is a story that asks how we can connect when there is a river of difference raging between us.

Daughter is a breathtaking and brilliant novel about the exquisite pain and agony that comes from loving and needing certain people in our lives to love us back, to love us better… I loved this beautifully written book and was profoundly moved by it, so uncompromising and so true.
