Sobre IBD

We graft new faces onto old bones, stitching hope to history until one finally gives.(People Like You avoids ornament. It is a sharp, character-driven novel about social mobility, memory and the scar tissues of cultural dislocations that shape us. Six female voices-lawyer, teen, therapist, mother, daughter, elder-unspool secrets, ruptures and hard-won reckonings. This unsparing but fiercely humane prose gently excavates how shame, desire and guilt remake us, one betrayal, one reclaimed moment at a time.Based on true stories: this is an unflinching study of how we become.'Spare, wry and quietly fierce, Killeen writes with the precision of an observer and the mercy of a poet...'(The Books Publishing Company Press Release)Winner of the Book Excellence Award 2025 in the Women’s Nonfiction category for An Inflammable Act of Kindness
