My Mother and Other Secrets with Wendyl Nissen

When Wendyl Nissen's mother was suffering with Alzheimer’s, she told some extraordinary stories about her background that Wendyl had never heard before. Determined to get to the bottom of these family secrets, Wendyl found some wild and intriguing stories of loss, grief, and love. She uncovered new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh parenting, complex marriages, and a few rogues.
