Publisher's Synopsis
A dutiful son does what he can to make his parents proud, but becomes ensnared in a harrowing pattern of child sexual abuse lasting nearly a decade. Struggling with confusion, anxiety, overeating, and an unhealthy view of sex, he ends up repressing the painful memories for over thirty years.

To heal from shame's crippling effects, he uproots it, cluster by cluster, in a journey of perpetual growth.
