Not even their names were their own. In her frank, moving, and often surprisingly funny new memoir, Fremont delves even deeper into the family dynamic that produced such a startling devotion to secret-keeping. She begins her story with the discovery that she has been disinherited in her mother's will, her existence as a member of the family erased, and she writes with unflinching candor about growing up in a household whose members were devoted to hiding the truth. The younger and infinitely more pliant of two sisters, she was affected from early childhood by her family's obsessive focus on the unsteady mental health of her older sister, Lara, and by their alternating bouts of pushing away and demanding loyalty from her, all in service to supporting deep-seated family myths"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Fremont, Helen. 600 10 Fremont, Helen |xFamily. 650 0 Children of Holocaust survivors |zUnited States |vBiography. 650 7 HISTORY / United States / General. |2bisacsh 600 17 Fremont, Helen. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00420545 650 7 Children of Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00855272 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 600 17 Fremont, Helen. |2nli 600 17 Fremont, Helen |xFamily. |2nli 650 7 Children of Holocaust survivors |zUnited States |vBiography. |2nli 650 0 Children of Holocaust survivors |vBiography. 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:Fremont, Helen. |tEscape artist. |bFirst Gallery Books hardcover edition. |dNew York : Gallery Books, 2020 |z9781982113629 |w(DLC) 2019022577 852 0 |bscstacks |hE184.37.F74 |iA4 2020
