Family secrets shape our choices from "summary" of It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover

Family secrets have a way of weaving themselves into the very fabric of our lives, shaping the decisions we make and the paths we follow. They lurk in the shadows, whispering their influence into our thoughts and actions without us even realizing it. These secrets, buried deep within the branches of our family tree, hold a power over us that is both subtle and profound. Growing up, we are often shielded from the truth of our family's history, shielded from the skeletons that lie hidden in the closet. But as we mature, as we begin to carve out our own place in the world, these secrets start to reveal themselves in ways we never could have imagined. They color our perceptions, taint our relationships, and guide our choices in ways that we may not even be aware of. In "It Starts with Us," the characters grapple with the weight of their family's secrets, struggling to break free from the patterns that have been set in motion by generations past. They are faced with the consequences of choices made long before they were even born, forced to confront the shadows that have been cast over their lives. These secrets have a way of shaping not only our present but also our future. They influence the way we view ourselves and others, the way we navigate the complexities of relationships, and the way we make decisions both big and small. They are like a silent hand guiding us down a path that we may not have chosen for ourselves, a path that is paved with the echoes of the past. As the characters in the book come to terms with the truths that have been hidden from them, they are forced to confront the ways in which these secrets have shaped their lives. They must grapple with the impact of these revelations on their sense of self, their understanding of their family, and their vision for the future. And in doing so, they come to realize that the only way to break free from the hold of these secrets is to face them head-on, to shine a light into the dark corners where they have been hiding. In the end, the characters learn that it is only by acknowledging the influence of these family secrets that they can begin to forge their own path, one that is not dictated by the mistakes and missteps of those who came before them. They come to understand that while these secrets may have shaped their choices in the past, they do not have to define their future. And in this realization, they find a sense of empowerment and liberation, a freedom
