A short summary of the book Prince of Tides:
What Tom learned about himself during his sister's breakdown.
My favorite Pat Conroy quote from the book:
"Violence sends deep roots into the heart, it has no seasons, it is always ripe, evergreen."
Questions I pondered while reading Prince of Tides:
Is creativity the cause of or the result of mental illness?
Is it possible to completely recover from a tragedy?
My thoughts Prince of Tides:
Dysfunction makes good stories, not happy ones.
Family secrets should be shared with one another.
Your past can haunt you forever.
