More than three decades later, with the death of her parents as a catalyst, Amanda began sifting through the relics of her family's fragile past. She wondered if the chance objects she and her mother and father had held on to-a faded doodle of a girl gathering apples, broken knickknacks, worn family photos and her parents' journals-might unravel their long-standing and tightly woven narrative and tell a different story.
Searching through the eyes of "The Gathering Girl," Amanda Irene Rush discovers an alternate truth buried within the deepest roots of her family tree. She demonstrates how the untangling of a twisted past can be both beautiful and brutal, and how the journey can ultimately lead to forgiveness.

by Amanda Irene Rush (Author)
When she was 12, Amanda's best friend's family gifted her a Christmas stocking stuffed with a carton of cigarettes. She was thrilled. The cigarettes meant she would no longer have to steal and smoke her mother's uncool brand. And the stocking-though it didn't have her name stitched along the top like everyone else's-meant, for the moment at least, that she belonged. She hadn't felt that way since before her free-spirited mother left her corporate-climbing father with 4-year-old Amanda and her older sister in tow. Before her father remarried a woman who never wanted children. Before her mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Before Amanda and her sister were left to largely fend for themselves.
