"We are sold this notion that family is everything-the be-all and end-all. But what if your family is actually a little bit fucked up?"

In this raw memoir, Gayle invites readers to walk alongside her through the darkest corners of family struggle-the deep disconnect and dysfunction caused by undiagnosed mental illness and addiction, eventually resulting in life-altering tragedy. With unmatched honesty and relatability, Gayle opens her heart, sharing the "warts and all" moments of her journey to healing so that others, too, can feel seen and understood in their own struggles, all while feeling inspired to boldly step into change.

Amid the quiet of grief, Gayle was able to rewaken her connection to her intuition, finding the strength to rebuild herself, rediscovering her voice and her sense of purpose. Through the pain and loss, she found a path to compassion and forgiveness that allowed her to reconnect with her childhood family, fostering a future of love and hope. With a wicked sense of humour, heart full of ambition, and deep passion for helping others, Gayle offers not only her story but a beacon of hope for those seeking to heal and rebuild the relationships that matter most. This book is for anyone searching for strength, resilience, and a brighter, more connected future.
