Tell Me Again

Summary from Goodreads

For years, Amy Thunig thought she knew all the details about the day she was born, often demanding that the story of her birth be retold. Years later, heavily pregnant with her own first child, she learns what really happened that day. It' s a tale that exemplifies many of the events of her early life, where circumstances sometimes dictated that things be slightly different from how they might seem – including what is meant by her dad being away for ‘ work' and why her legal last name differs from her family' s.

She reveals the importance of extended family and community networks when your immediate loved ones are dealing with endemic poverty and intergenerational trauma.
