About this listen

In Running Away from Home, Tracy Burger explores her lifelong dispassionate relationship with her mother, why she couldn’t connect with her mom during the last five years of her life, and her desperate need to please her.

Many of us who grew up in the '70s saw the perfect home exemplified on afternoon TV reruns. Supportive mothers rendered a stable presence, empathizing with their children while providing the required safety net for their experiences and needs. This wasn’t how author Tracy Burger experienced it.

This story will inspire personal reflection and open dialogue on important topics like:

  • Childhood emotional neglect—what it is and how it can manifest in adults.
  • Depression—removing the stigma and silence.
  • Dysfunctional family dynamics—acceptance of less-than-healthy family relationships.

Listeners will relate to Burger’s portrayal of familial relationships and be inspired by the vulnerable telling of an average woman’s story. If you are a lover of memoirs or true-life stories, this book is a must-listen.
