Samenvatting:

Florence St. John grew up in a turbulent Brooklyn home shaped by alcoholism, emotional neglect, and the constant need to earn love. Determined to break the cycle, she raises her daughter differently-offering the support and stability she never had. But when her teenage daughter begins to struggle with depression and self-harm, Florence is forced to confront the past she thought she had left behind.Spanning generations, Queen of Hearts explores trauma, codependency, low self-esteem, and the lasting impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family. As memories resurface, Florence begins to see how deeply those patterns shaped her life-and her role as a mother.An intimate memoir of motherhood, mental health, and generational trauma, this is a story about what we inherit, what we pass on, and what it takes to finally see it clearly.
