The inheritance of salt is this: it preserves, it stings, and it makes you thirsty for something real.

Generational trauma, the lies we tell to survive, the difference between forgiveness and acceptance, and the radical act of choosing your siblings as adults.

In families, "war" isn't always a screaming match. It’s a passive-aggressive comment about a career choice, a heavy sigh when someone starts talking, or "forgetting" to invite someone to a brunch.

Family, as the saying goes, is where they have to take you in. But in the realm of storytelling, it’s also where the sharpest knives are kept.
