Dear PlayGarden Community,
For many years, my brothers and sisters and I were raised to believe that our mother was an only child. We had just one aunt, on my father’s side of the family. No aunts, uncles, or cousins on my mom’s side. But that was not true. My mother had a sister that was kept secret from us.

In August 2023, I began a journey to learn about who my mother’s sister was. It has been heartbreaking and deeply touching to learn about her life. I will share her story, and mine, with you in 13 posts.

You may download the entire booklet here or read post by post. If you would like a print copy, please follow the button below.

Sincerely,
Liz Bullard
