Tracey Yokas had a new opportunity to redefine herself and her happiness on her own terms after the passing of her mother. However, she soon learned that her daughter, Faith, was struggling with issues of her own, including disordered eating, depression, and self-harm. Tracey was determined to save her daughter, but she had no idea how to reach her. As their fragile family navigated a medical system and a societal fabric that failed innumerable families in need, Tracey and Faith became near strangers to each other. Ultimately, it was only when Tracey began the hard work of standing up to her own history of rejection, low self-esteem, and longing that healing became possible. Bloodlines is a story about how waking up to the power of love can allow us to reimagine the past and fortify the present, made urgent by the epidemic of mental health challenges now besetting millions of American teens each year.
