Secrets come in all shapes and sizes. And for families as well as individuals, they are built on a complex web of shifting motives and emotions. But today, when personal revelations are posted on the Internet or sensationalized on afternoon talk shows, we risk losing touch with how important secrets are--how they are used and abused, their power to harm and heal.

In this important work, Evan Imber-Black explores the nature of secrets, helping us understand:

The distinction between healthy privacy and toxic secrecy
What to tell--and not to tell--young children
How to safely confront a family "zone of silence"
Why adolescents need to have some secrets--and where to draw the line
The effect of "official" secrets, like sealed adoption records and medical testing
What to consider before revealing an important secret
And much more

Filled with moving first-person stories, The Secret Life of Families provides perspective on some of today's most sensitive personal and social issues. Giving voice to our deepest fears and to our power to overcome them, this is a book that will be talked about for years to come.

Nice little jewelry box
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
Just what I wanted in size and available compartments. The only thing I am hesitant about is the paper outside. Mine is white and may get dirty quickly.

Absolutely the BEST hold for headphones!!
Style: Studio-Grade White – One Pack
Perfect...just needed something easy to use and gentle on my headphones to get them out of the way when not in use. I have purchased several different holders from "TotalMount" and all their stuff is top quality high grade. Nothing flimsy here. I would highly recommend. Holder adheres to any surface and removes without leaving a mark. Sticks using command strips (4 strips for super secure hold) and has a smooth grey silicon liner that looks very mod. I purchased the white hold. I would most definitely purchase again.

Simple and easy
This headphone holder is excellent! It’s super easy to install without screws or permanent adhesives, so it won’t damage my walls. The mount feels very sturdy and holds my headphones securely, and the sleek black design looks great in my studio setup. A simple, practical solution for keeping headphones organized and within reac
