Author Cris Beam left her mother's home at age 14, driven out by a suburban household of hidden chaos and mental illness. Her mother, a descendant of William Faulkner, told neighbors and family that her daughter had died. The two never saw each other again. Nearly twenty-five years later, after building her own family and happy home life, a lawyer called to say her mother was dead. In this story about the fragility of memory and the complexity of family, Beam decides to look back at her own dark history, and for the secret to her mother's madness.

Der er ikke nogen, der går gennem livet uden at begå fejl. Når det sker, kan man vælge at grave sig ned og skamme sig helt ind i knoglerne - eller man kan dele sine dårlige valg med andre og se på det som en vigtig lektie. Og måske endda prøve at grine af det. Det er præcis, hvad vi vil gøre i denne podcast. Vi vil hylde og elske alle de ting, vi roder os ud i og efterfølgende fortryder. Det gør vi hver uge, hvor vi inviterer en gæst i studiet til en snak om, hvad de virkelig, inderligt fortryder, de har gjort. Velkommen til 1000 regrets.
