When Family Becomes the Hardest Story to Tell
A candid memoir explores how love, misunderstanding, and time reshape family relationships.

MARIETTA, GA – Every family has stories that are shared openly, while others remain buried beneath years of silence. In How Did I Get Here From There? Volume 2, Rosalyn Mae Wilson reflects on the experiences that shaped her relationship with her children, examining how childhood trauma, family conflict, and difficult choices continued to influence her life. Rather than offering simple conclusions, she recounts her family’s story with honesty, accountability, and compassion.

After helping raise five brothers and a sister, Wilson believed she understood what it meant to care for a family. Yet her greatest heartbreak came later, when years of estrangement separated her from her daughter Tammy. She also revisits her 42-year business career, including her time with IBM and the Bella Rosa Boutique she opened with Tammy, where shared ambitions gradually gave way to painful disagreements. Throughout the memoir, Wilson examines her own decisions alongside the circumstances that affected those she loved most.

Wilson explains that she wrote this second volume because Tammy and her son Bryan received only limited attention in her first memoir. Here, she revisits the experiences that continue to influence her understanding of family, forgiveness, loss, and parental responsibility.

Available on Amazon, How Did I Get Here From There? Volume 2 offers readers a thoughtful memoir about love, regret, resilience, and hope. It invites reflection on how memory, intention, and unresolved hurt shape relationships over time while suggesting that understanding the past may help people move forward with greater compassion.
