“If We Don’t Tell Our Stories, Who Will?” A Book Review of Carly Israel’s Memoir, Seconds and Inches
This memoir is a culmination of Carly Israel healing herself, and her family through their generational trauma from the Holocaust and beyond. Her story is real and raw as she shares her inner battles, her self-destructive habits, her broken family, true love’s lost and found, and most admirably, the fierceness of a mother’s love and trusting her intuition.
The author does a remarkable job of incorporating wit and humor into what may sound like dark subject matter. Trust me, you will want to hang out with her after reading it, or at least stalk her Facebook page like I did!
