A fascinating examination of the messy and beautiful reality of family life and how, if we embrace it, we can improve our relationships and maybe even enjoy Christmas.

She was the author of the 'Hidden Voices' report on family estrangement for the charity Stand Alone, which reached an audience of millions, and her work has been reported on in the Daily Mail, the New York Times, the Telegraph, BBC News, Psychologies Magazine and Psychology Today. This is her first book.
