Anna Konkle (PEN15, Murderbot) pulls back the curtain on emotional incest — the covert, rarely-discussed wound of becoming your parent's confidant, spouse, and caretaker as a child. the family dynamics most people are too scared to name. Anna and Brandon get into her new book and unpack grief and forgiveness: how Anna cared for the father she'd been estranged from as he was dying, the letter that finally told him the truth, and the moment she told him "you did earth." Plus, they crack it all open with a chaotic '90s game of Homeroom, Study Hall, Detention (TLC's "Waterfalls" will never be the same).
