Once Upon a Perfect Family

Two days after her cancer diagnosis, Jen submitted her Masters thesis “An Autoethnographic Epistolary Study’ and graduated RMIT’s Master in Writing & Publishing, with Distinction.

It was her wish that this thesis be read widely, as it shines a light on the culture of silence surrounding abuse within families, and the damaging effect it has on all connected to it.
