When Ingrid also has a bout of amnesia in her early 20s, she becomes more interested in her family's heritage. She and her mother relate to each other. They spend time together on a mission to dig up her grandfather's bones and truly put him to rest, since people have been using his grave to ask for favors.
There was so much going on in here. It's beautifully written. There are definitely people who are not going to believe what the author is saying and she addresses the hypocrisy of, specifically Americans, not doing so. It's a powerful memoir that showcases family.

The eating disorder content is contained to a couple chapters near the end of the book (for those who might need to skip it); I listened to audiobook and don’t have the page numbers.
