Trail of Broken Wings
Trail of Broken Wings | Sejal Badani
When her father falls into a coma, Indian American photographer Sonya reluctantly returns to the family she'd fled years before. Since she left home, Sonya has lived on the run, free of any ties, while her soft-spoken sister, Trisha, has created a perfect suburban life, and her ambitious sister, Marin, has built her own successful career. But as these women come together, their various methods of coping with a terrifying history can no longer hold their memories at bay.Buried secrets rise to the surface as their fatherthe victim of humiliating racism and perpetrator of horrible violenceremains unconscious. As his condition worsens, the daughters and their mother wrestle with private hopes for his survival or death, as well as their own demons and buried secrets.Told with forceful honesty, Trail of Broken Wings reveals the burden of shame and secrets, the toxicity of cruelty and aggression, and the exquisite, liberating power of speaking and owning truth.

I recommend this book to everyone that asks me what to read. Excellent story line with a few twists, especially at the end. Story of three girls, their mother and each of their relationships with their father and each one is very different. A great read!

StrawberryShortcake85 Thanks for the recommendation ☺ 7y

"I convinced myself I owed him for loving me. No child should ever feel such a thing. A family should be connected by love and appreciation for what every person brings into the relationship. A unity of hearts and souls, where fear has no place."

This is what I believe, although sadly, all too often, isn't the reality of genetic family. Hence my sister-friends.

Quote from "Trail of Broken Wings" by Sejal Badani -

"Everyone must reach a point in their life when they stop running. When it is easier to stand still than to keep being chased, even if the person chasing you is only in your head."

Got this with Amazon Prime. Heartbreaking and yet, I understand these female characters very, very well.

I'm about halfway through, and my heart aches for the three sisters. The damage caused by their now comatose father continues to minimize them, despite their great successes becoming independent adults. Well worth the read, although if you are sensitive to domestic violence or verbal abuse, this may not be a good choice for you.

I recommend this book to the fullest. It is a book that deals with four women coming to terms with terrible things that were done to them. The subject is hard, but I loved the story none the less. It's about a mother and her three daughters. With a grand daughter thrown in for an added punch to the heart. Please read this book.

Mehso-so

The portrayal of a wife and daughters shattered by years of abuse is awful. I am sure the author researched this topic and I fear this book adequately reflects what abuse survivors emotionally endure. I have no personal experience with abuse and found it extremely difficult to relate to any of the women in this book. I usually avoid this topic but am glad I read this book.

Started reading this on my phone while waiting to see Fantastic Beasts. Select a monthly free digital book with my Amazon Prime membership, but I've never read one before now. Not far enough in to have an opinion, but cautious due to suggestions of child abuse.

tpixie Wow didn't know that was an option with prime! Thx 8y
amywithbooks I loved this book. Few books have made me literally sob the way this one did. 8y

#somethingforsept #SeptemberPhotoChallenge Here are two books that I couldn't put down. In both cases, I started them "before bed" and finally turned off the light in the middle of the night after I read the last words.

I love stories about family dynamics. This is about three sisters and their mother coming together after the father has fallen into a coma. The secrets they have all lived with are revealed. I give this book two thumbs up.

Another book where I didn't like a single character - I jumped to the end just to see if it was going where I thought it was and bailed. #bookclubfail

sprainedbrain I'm with you! On one hand, I want it to grab hold of my interest... On the other, I'm afraid it will. 😃 9y
Texasblues I might have finished it, just to see if I was right about everything, but I just asked another book club member to confirm my suspicions, lol. 9y
Gezemice Who picked that book?? ;) 9y
