The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg

A very poignant narrative about three siblings who finally discuss the trauma the youngest claims she endured growing up with a mother who mistreated her. The two older children initially dismiss their younger sister's memories, after all, they were present and did not notice any abuse. Yet, it is this very conundrum of how children can have such different experiences growing up even though they are raised by the same parents and together in one home that expands this story into one of nuance and emotional resonance.
