Ingenious Dialouge and Poingancy leads to Revelations

Sherry Glaser's, Family Secrets is one of the most profound peices of literature I have ever encountered. Through memoirs, and characterization through monologues, she purges her soul to the readers. Each Character comes alive, and gives you insight into Sherry Glaser's soul and life. What makes her characters so real, is that they are real. They come as a combination of her relatives, and her personal feelings and desires. Through writing from her heart, Sherry has accomplished giving life to the stage, and producing a family history that everyone, in some way can relate too. Her poignancy can bring anyone to their own revelations, and to tears. She crisply and bluntly defines what it is to feel, and what it is to accept what you were born into ;That which is your family.. And all the secrets that come along with it. (It is also a fabulous performance peice, and I would like to thank the author for writing such a stunning peice of literature)
