Secrets come in all shapes and sizes. And for families as well as individuals, they are built on a complex web of shifting motives and emotions. But today, when personal revelations are posted on the Internet or sensationalized on afternoon talk shows, we risk losing touch with how important secrets are--how they are used and abused, their power to harm and heal.

In this important work, Evan Imber-Black explores the nature of secrets, helping us understand:

The distinction between healthy privacy and toxic secrecy
What to tell--and not to tell--young children
How to safely confront a family "zone of silence"
Why adolescents need to have some secrets--and where to draw the line
The effect of "official" secrets, like sealed adoption records and medical testing
What to consider before revealing an important secret
And much more

Filled with moving first-person stories, The Secret Life of Families provides perspective on some of today's most sensitive personal and social issues. Giving voice to our deepest fears and to our power to overcome them, this is a book that will be talked about for years to come.

Looks good, fits good, works good
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
I LOVE it! I bought the one with the cord at first and then returned it for the one without the cord and I'm 100% in love with it. It looks good, the magnetic strength is awesome and I love the fact that it can swivel around too

Very slow, but good quality
Color: 2White
It works as expected, but my phone says that it is a slow charger even when plugged in my fast charger brick. False advertising. Really wish it charged a little faster

Slow As a Turtle
Color: 2White
Super slow charging. After 10 minutes, my phone only charged 3%. I plugged my original charging cord into the same 65W charging block and after 2 minutes, it had charged nearly 10%.
