From afar, Julie's formative years looked perfect.

A father with a good, steady job. A stay-at-home mother who loved to read. A spacious yard filled with toys and games for her and her two siblings. Yet for those who looked just a little closer, Julie's house was the one the neighbors whispered about, the place on the block that parents didn't want their kids to visit.

The front door of Julie's home hid dysfunction, abuse, alcoholism, neglect, and fear. Her father's blind selfishness, Jekyll-and-Hyde moods, and fists that left bruises on his wife dominated the home, inflicting daily trauma on the family. Her mother tried her best, but ultimately her husband's abuse led to lethargy and parental neglect, burdening her children with even more hardship as her autonomy was whittled away.

Abuse doesn't just affect us in the moment. We carry trauma, and particularly sustained trauma, throughout our lives, sometimes even passing it to the next generation. In Life with Less of Me, Julianna Burmesch reflects upon how her upbringing influenced her life, its trajectory, and even her health as an adult, through a well documented phenomenon where adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can change a body on the cellular level. Breast cancer and a flesh-eating infection claimed parts of Julie's body, mirroring her mother's ever-shrinking life. Determined not to pass her scars to her own children, Julie fought to educate herself, heal from her past, embrace resilience, and become the successful, fulfilled woman she is today.

A candid and deeply reflective account of growing up in a home where the front door hid dysfunction, Life with Less of Me resonates with readers long past the final page.
