Speak #Truth Lies, A Memoir of Healing from Family Estrangement
by Vig Gleeson
What does grief look like when an estranged parent dies without saying a last farewell?
In Speak #Truth Lies, Vig Gleeson confronts the complex emotions surrounding her estranged father’s passing. After fifteen years of separation, Vig and her young daughter Ruby arrive on Atløy Island to lay her father to rest.
Set against the natural beauty of coastal Norway, the memoir paints a vivid portrait of a woman’s journey of self-discovery, from fear of abandonment to acceptance of her own truth.
With raw vulnerability, Vig unearths a tapestry of emotions—guilt, shame, regret, heartache, and anger—as she questions her right to grieve.
Navigating the logistics of the funeral and unearthing her father’s dire financial affairs, Vig delves into the roots of her apprehensions. When her father’s journals and correspondences reveal, not only his enigmatic character but a hidden narrative about her own life, memories of childhood trauma prompt Vig to confront the impact of fear on her upbringing.
Will she find healing in the wake of this revelation, and can she reconcile with her father in his absence?
“Speak Truth Lies” is a compelling exploration of an emotional journey, the enduring impact of estrangement on personal identity and pursuing closure. Gleeson’s candid narrative invites the reader to witness the profound transformation that emerges from confronting a fractured past and the truth of an absent father figure.
