And Now I Spill the Family Secrets: A Memoir Free Audiobook Download by Margaret Kimball
This is the story of Marguerite Kimball, who was an adopted child with a difficult life. She struggled to find out about her biological parents and chose to try and uncover their identity by writing to them in secret for many years. It all comes out when her daughter is dying from cancer, and she reveals every single detail graciously.
And Now I Spill the Family Secrets is a memoir written by Margaret Kimball, a woman who was raised in an Amish community, and later left her family to investigate what it meant to feel 'normal.' After leaving her small town and spending years as an outsider of society, she writes about having childbearing children in order to have offspring and stay true to her community. She also writes about how religion and parenting are changing now that society has changed and new environmental factors are at play.
Telling her family's story is an overwhelming task, but as Margaret Kimball discovers, it's also not just a story. It's an inspiration to overcome the brokenness and find your way back to love.
"For the last 50 years, I have been living in a lie. For the last 25 of those years, I've been carrying the secret-that my mother, who died when I was nine, was actually alive and living right here in New York City."
