"I'm left wondering if we are all just patchworks of the stories we've been told. What would/does it take for you to confront a false history even if it means having to fundamentally reexamine who you are and who your family has been. Just because something is difficult to accept doesn't mean you should refuse to accept it. Just because someone tells you a story doesn't make that story true."
