Read Cricket in a Fist Storyline:

Agatha Winter must pick up her runaway sister Jasmine on the anniversary of their mother's accident and subsequent split from the family. Jasmine wants to exact revenge. Their mother, now a flashy self-help guru under a new moniker, preaches "willing amnesia": liberation by deliberately forgetting and disowning the past. But "willing amnesia" is no innovation: it runs in the family. The girls' grandmother and great-grandmother, both Holocaust survivors, have found their own superficially innocuous yet destructive ways to fend off memory. In separate struggles, the girls work to break free from the burden of their family's silence. Naomi K. Lewis was born in England, grew up in Ottawa, and now lives in Edmonton. Her stories have been widely published. Literary Fiction, Canadian Author.
