In this poignant and deeply personal audio experience, host Maria Luisa Tucker investigates the disappearance of her own father, and uses the many theories that emerge to explore what it means to be a family today. Luisa’s father disappeared into the 3-million-acre Tonto National Forest on a cold February day in 2006. As time passed and no clear information emerged, everyone around her had a different theory about what had happened to him: maybe he’d gotten lost on a hike in the mountains. He could have run off with another woman, or gotten so enraged with his wife and kids that he left to avoid hurting them. Or maybe he walked into the woods to die. Years later, Luisa realized that each theory revealed something about her family, and, in turn, our cultural understanding of love, care, the parent-child relationship, self-sufficiency vs. community, and more. In this five-part series, Luisa weaves together scenes from the search for her father with theory and research about love and family, as well as moments from her life now as a mother. Conversations with her loved ones as well as psychologists, anthropologists, and scholars will challenge listeners' ideas of what family is, or should be.©2022 Maria Luisa Tucker (P)2022 Audible Originals, LLC Biografías y Memorias Crímenes Reales

Ms. Tucker has written about and presented a very personal and difficult family story with grace and dignity.

Excellent

Did I cry listening to this daughter's story of her father's suicide? Of course. But I also laughed and learned -- about opioid addiction, missing person searches, memory, family, and more. We hear Tucker making sense of what happened and giving her 7-year-old son a true and respectful and loving answer to the question, "How did your father die?" She blazes a path through tragedy toward hope and connection over the episodes. Beautiful stuff.

Heartbreaking, revelatory, and weirdly healthy

Binge-worthy! But I found it helpful to pause between episodes to think about the profound ideas that the author brings up. This is an expertly told story that made me consider my own family ties and why/if we depend on each other, particularly when we reach adulthood. The interviews with some of her family members left me wanting to know more about them. They seemed to have their own intriguing stories (especially her mother and the sheriff). I enjoyed listening to the conversations with experts who helped the author understand her father's inner life and why he disappeared.

Deeper than the typical suspense story

This podcast touches almost every base of what a family is. How we can grow and help generations after us. I truly loved it. Learned about opioids, how depression affects so many people and not just the ones going thru it. It was truly amazing and raw. Highly recommend it!!

What a rollercoaster- highly recommend!
