Connection. Belonging. Love.

We all crave them. And many of us are lucky enough to be born into a setting where they are already in place to support our growth and understanding of the world.

But author Judi Logan had to actively pursue these three things as she attempted to piece together the story of her existence.

As a teen, the woman she called Mom divulged a secret that tore Judi apart, a secret that had destroyed a close family over a decade before. Armed with this information, Judi struggled to find peace till well into adulthood when she took it upon herself to search out her true parents, discover where she belonged, and knit together the strands of the family that had been severed upon her birth.

A true story of faith and forgiveness, The Unraveling follows Judi's path as she disentangles the pieces of her history to restore family and hope.

Bringing peace to herself, cultivating the bonds of love among her connections, and embracing her new truth, Judi bravely follows God's plan for her to reunite a broken family a generation after it shattered.

Beautiful and compelling, The Unraveling tells how Judi rooted herself in God's love so she could finally know where she belongs and discover the true reach of the branches in her family tree.

Have you been deeply hurt by a family member?

Has your family, which should have loved, nourished, and protected you, inflicted traumas that still affect your life today?

Are you struggling daily to repair the damage they caused?

Some people are fortunate to be born into families with whom they love spending time. These members are compassionate towards each other, communicate their needs effortlessly, and staunchly support one another. Conversely, for others, a simple incoming call from a family member can be a source of dread.

A 'toxic family' describes a family with dysfunctional relationships harmful to the emotional and psychological health of its members. These families are characterized by behaviors and dynamics such as emotional and psychological abuse, manipulation, denial, minimization of problems, distortion of reality, and unequal power and control.

Adult children of toxic family members often grapple with immense guilt, a sense of obligation, and shame, feeling compelled to keep family secrets, even at the cost of their own well-being.

This manual is recommended if your family:

• Does not show concern for your feelings, needs, or rights.
• Uses threats, harsh language, or violence.
• Makes cruelly critical remarks.
• Lies and/or uses guilt to manipulate.
• Repeatedly violates your boundaries.
• Insists on always being right.
• Sows conflict among other family members.
• Feels exempt from rules.
• Has envious siblings in perpetual conflict.
• Blames you for their flaws or mistakes.
• Avoids responsibility for their actions.
• Refuses to compromise.
• Gives you the silent treatment.
• Denies reality, emotionally manipulates, or gaslights, making you feel irrational.

These are just a few common signs of a toxic family. Each family might display these traits differently or combine them in unique ways.

The inner child within you may hope for change, but the reality is they may never do so.

However, you might feel:

• Guilty, as if you are to blame for your family's issues.
• Confused by your family's fickle behavior and changing expectations.
• Inadequate and powerless against your family members' cruel behaviors.
• Alone, lacking a supportive network of loving family members.
• Many people may not understand your experience, often remarking, But they're your family! without grasping the full situation.

Take action now, before it's too late.

Breaking free from the toxic grip of family members is a winding path, but it is the best gift you can give to your life and your mental health.

#1 New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs undergoes a hilarious, poignant quest to understand what constitutes family--where it begins and how far it goes--in It's All Relative, a thought-provoking...delightful, easy-to-read, informative book (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).A.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: You don't know me, but I'm your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database. That's enough family members to fill Madison Square Garden four times over. Who are these people, A.J. wondered, and how do I find them? So began Jacobs's three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in history. In It's All Relative, he muses on the nature of family and the interconnectedness of humanity in this entertaining introduction to the world of genealogy (Publishers Weekly). Jacobs's journey would take him to all seven continents. He drank beer with a US president, sung with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and unearthed genetic links to Hollywood actresses and real-life scoundrels. After all, we can choose our friends, but not our family. Whether he's posing as a celebrity, outsourcing his chores, or adhering strictly to the Bible, we love reading about the wacky lifestyle experiments of author A.J. Jacobs (Entertainment Weekly). Now Jacobs upends, in ways both meaningful and hilarious, our understanding of genetics and genealogy, tradition and tribalism, identity and connection. Whimsical but also full of solid journalism and eye-opening revelations about the history of humanity, It's All Relative is a real treat (Booklist, starred review).

Blinds, Patches, and Twine is one family's road map through the hardships and struggles present in three generations of living. Beginning with the final tale in 1972 and looking back at where it all started, this true story shows the disappointments, fear, laughter, anger and, most importantly, the love shared by strong family ties. This story of survival and wits tells about a powerful man who never fully achieved what the talent and passion he'd been gifted with would have indicated. That tenacity and passion spawned a family of four and led one son, Sammy, the youngest, to the fame and fortune his father had always sought. Ultimately, Sammy Hagar carried his dream to the pinnacle of success. Primarily, Blinds is a story of resolution, compromise and forgiveness that carries readers through the years of a family's love and courage as they strive to deal with the debilitating alcohol addiction of a strong, vital character. It introduces the family through events as their personalities are shaped and developed by these circumstances. One gets the feeling that there is something left behind in all of us as we deal with who we are, while living with where we are. About the Author: Bobby Hagar Harrell helps run her family business in Riverside, California. She is the mother of three, grandmother of nine and great-grandmother of four. I said all of my life that my dad's failure was the greatest tool I had in learning and understanding how to live. I'm so grateful for this experience and my mother's courage to help us through without ever planting one seed of hate or discontent. Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/BobbyHagarHarrell

What is a family and what is it good for?

Story 1: Families are in crisis, and the cause is moral breakdown. We urgently need a deep renewal of our family culture, supported by public policies that strengthen traditional marriage and encourage childbearing.

Story 2: Families are in crisis, and the cause is capitalism. We need structural changes in society so that all families can flourish: parental leave, guaranteed healthcare, flexible work hours for parents, restorative justice.

What if both these stories are true? This issue of Plough reflects on what a family is and what it is for, so that the transformations needed to solve the crisis of the family start from a firm basis, not a nostalgic ideal or progressive theorizing. As always, we take as a starting point the teachings of Jesus. It turns out his idea of family values might not be what people think. He calls us to extend our natural love for our biological family to a vast new throng of siblings - a family of many ethnicities and cultures that includes the widowed, the unmarried, the outsider, and the stranger.

In this issue:
- Ross Douthat asks what is stopping people from having the one more child they desire.
- Edwidge Danticat says families are not nuclear.
- Gina Dalfonzo reveals what singles know best about the church as family.
- Norann Voll remembers a Jewish woman who escaped the Holocaust and married a German.
- W. Bradford Wilcox and Alysse ElHage report on how the Covid pandemic has impacted the family.
- Noah Van Niel asks whether masculinity is OK anymore.
- Cardinal Christoph Sch nborn reflects the burden of family history, celibacy, and monument toppling.
- Sarah C. Williams pinpoints the source of feminist pioneer Josephine Butler's daring.
- Rabbi Jonathan Sacks begins the story of marriage 385 million years ago in a lake in Scotland.
- Zito Madu recalls how his father's amazing storytelling saved the past from oblivion.

You'll also find:
- M. M. Townsend on what Louisa May Alcott and Simone de Beauvoir had in common
- A special announcement about Plough's new poetry contest: the Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award
- A reading from G. K. Chesterton
- Two new poems by Rachel Hadas
- Reviews of Eric Edstrom's Un-American, Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law's Prison by Any Other Name, Brian Doyle's One Long River of Song, and Mart n Caparr s's Hunger

Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.

In the Summertime: true stories of a multigenerational family knit together through summers and holidays on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin.

The author's childhood at the little red cottage was filled with dramatic summer storms, unfortunate incidents involving bunk beds and outhouses, and an uncle with a talent for inventive pranks. There was a secret fort hidden in ancient cottonwoods, an unwanted critter in the house, fireworks on the Fourth of July, and rainy afternoons with pastimes that fed the imaginations of seven children.
