Only is a painfully honest and entertaining story of an unconventional
childhood. It reveals what it feels like to be an only child and the
focal point of two people damaged by trauma and tragedy, and the courage
it takes to break free from the past and the pull of its secrets.
Caroline Baum's poignant and gripping memoir is for anyone who has felt
the pressure of being at the fulcrum of a seesaw, the focus of all eyes
and expectations--torn between love and fear, obedience and rebellion,
duty and the longing to escape. In exploring what being a "good
daughter" means and why it can be so difficult, Only uncovers truths
that offer readers deep emotional insight.
