What happens when a daughter discovers the truth about her mother's secret past? Dr. Tammy sits down with journalist and author Tracy Clark-Flory to discuss her powerful memoir, My Mother’s Daughter: Finding Myself in My Family’s Fractured Past. From meeting her sister to peeling back layers of shame, grief, and silence, Tracy shares how reclaiming the past helped to unite her family and heal the wounds they inherited.
