Acrobatics In The Hall Of Mirrors
A woman writes to a mother she's never met about family and parenting.
"So, what is family? Custom? Necessity? Social acceptance? Selfish motives? It's all of that. But what is more than anything? I remember one time dreaming that I was standing in front of a mirror and the mirror could see itself in me. That irrational dream is family. It's what family is about. The young member of a family is a fresh existence bound to be transformed by force into a reflecting mirror of stale ideas, stale people, stale relations."
"Hey, listen" is an anthology of stories Violet and Lisa created over a period of several years. Each title is a fictionalized story, stylized as a letter, of people who were forced to confront powerful self-deceptions about the world and about their world.
Dear reader, welcome to a world of psychology and emotions.
