The fragile shell holding together Peggy’s carefully arranged life shatters when her husband announces he is leaving. Shocked to realize she is echoing behaviors she saw modeled long ago, she is forced to re-enter the dark mirror of the dysfunctional family she’d fled.

Strong Glass takes readers on her journey into memory as she learns that for many with an inherited history of trauma, returning to a painful past can offer the healing grace of insight.

This poignant narrative of damage and renewal begins with a single shock of illumination and ends in empathy, compassion, and absolution.
