"Together Estranged speaks to the big elephant in the room - the pervasive family issues that plague our daily lives, and the quest for belonging. In a world that so often punishes those who are authentically themselves, my hope is that TE will serve as a heartfelt reminder that the black sheep can - and will - survive."
