The gripping psychological family thriller that is based on a true story follows a childhood shaped by deep emotional trauma, survival, and eventual strength. "Every House Had a Secret" chronicles the life of young siblings growing up in 1960s-70s America amid Family secrets, generational pain, and cycles of emotional abuse. Born into a home already fractured by manipulation and denial, the narrator faces relentless emotional abuse from her father, and watches her mother endure violence and control. This book reveals the raw truth of a past-where a sister is kidnapped at seven and attacked again as a teen, a brother who ran away twice to escape relentless physical abuse, and a life unsettled by constant relocations, including a time of homelessness. The Children are awakened at night for cherry counts, spanked with switches on birthdays, and haunted by both physical threats and psychological torment. A father with severe mental illness who keeps coming back-even after being institutionalized-sits at the center of their suffering. Despite it all, this is a story of resilience. The narrator finds meaning in moments of sweetness-guardian angel sightings, neighborhood friendships, and memories of biscuits and gravy. She survives the horrors of the houses that had secrets. Her brother remains her closest ally. A butterfly tattoo becomes her symbol of freedom. Through grief, abandonment, and loss-including the passing of her oldest sister and mother-the survivors go on to create better lives for themselves.
