\"\"<\/a>Oprah Winfrey\u2019s latest selection is\u00a0The Tell\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a>by Amy Griffin.<\/p>\n

Curious what\u00a0The Tell<\/strong><\/em> <\/a>is about? Check out the following description provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n

For decades, Amy ran. Through the dirt roads of Amarillo, Texas, where she grew up; to the campus of the University of Virginia, as a student athlete; on the streets of New York, where she built her adult life; through marriage, motherhood, and a thriving career. To outsiders, it all looked, in many ways, perfect. But Amy was running from something\u2014a secret she was keeping not only from her family and friends, but unconsciously from herself. \u201cYou\u2019re here, but you\u2019re not here,\u201d her daughter said to her one night. \u201cWhere are you, Mom?\u201d So began Amy\u2019s quest to solve a mystery trapped in the deep recesses of her own memory\u2014a journey that would take her into the burgeoning field of psychedelic therapy, to the limits of the judicial system, and ultimately, home to the Texas panhandle, where her story began.<\/em><\/p>\n

In her search for the truth, to understand and begin to recover from buried childhood trauma, Griffin interrogates the pursuit of perfectionism, control, and maintaining appearances that drives so many women, asking, when, in our path from girlhood to womanhood, did we learn to look outside ourselves for validation? What kind of freedom is possible if we accept the whole story and embrace who we really are? With hope, heart, and relentless honesty, she points a way forward for all of us, revealing the power of radical truth-telling to deepen our connections\u2014with others and ourselves.<\/em> – The Dial Press<\/p>\n
