String Theory holds that everything is made of unfathomably tiny strings; the vibrations of which produce effects we interpret as atoms, electrons, and quarks. A systems perspective holds a similar supposition: The life of a family - the life of an individual - is made up of unfathomably tiny encounters, the vibrations of which create impact across dimensions and generations.

String Theory, A Life offers a prismatic picture of being born into a tradition of addiction, misogyny, and complex love – and then slowly being born again. The little girl and then young woman struggle, often blindly, with the danger of depending on others for her self-concept.

Ultimately, this is a story of emergence and journeying to the other side of survival into thriving.
