Where the Waves Break: How I Found Myself After Tragedy

By Gayle Wilson

A raw, warts-and-all memoir about the family dysfunction few people dare to name: undiagnosed mental illness, a sibling’s addiction, and the life-altering tragedy they led to. Gayle Wilson writes with candour and sharp humour about using the quiet of grief to come back to herself after years of holding everyone else together. Her path through compassion and forgiveness shows other families they are not alone, and that it is possible to choose life after the storm.
