Scenario

When siblings disagree about complicated public figure legacies

My sister and I can't talk about the author who died without getting into a fight about whether we can still read his books given what came out about him, and this person who shaped our childhood reading is now a wound between us instead of a bridge.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared formative experiences are being reframed by new revelations, and two people who once found connection through common love now find themselves on opposite sides of moral complexity.
