In this revelatory new book, family researcher Lucy Blake shows that, whatever your assumptions are, they are almost certainly wrong and probably doing damage to your closest relationships.\n\nBlake looks at how the expectations we have affect and even hinder our interactions with parents, siblings, relatives and our children. Drawing on her experience of interviewing hundreds of family members - of all backgrounds - she explores these unrealistic ideas, exposes the truth of what a family really is and explains how we can better understand and appreciate the one we have.\n\nNo Family Is Perfect is a fascinating examination of the messy and beautiful reality of family life, and a look at how we can change our beliefs about family for the better and maybe even enjoy Christmas.\n\n\"Provides a fresh context for exploring issues that engage us throughout our lives ... No Family is Perfect will change how we think and write about families.\"\nTerri Apter, author of Difficult Mothers and The Sister Knot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote: \u003c\/b\u003ePostage to New Zealand is not included.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"eWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55121563484328,"sku":"V637-PHOE2009","price":47.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0479\/5718\/0584\/files\/53006897dc07a3e6ded118938aa24876.jpg?v=1767781073","url":"https:\/\/zntswholesale.com.au\/products\/no-family-is-perfect-a-guide-to-embracing-the-mes-v637-phoe2009","provider":"ZNTS Wholesale Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
