About Everybody Knows But Me

In season 1, we explore Holly's massive family secret. When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer.

For some people, I'm sure it is the wrong decision, but I think we probably also still need to keep talking about Just the weight that can be lifted off you if you are in a relationship with a parent who wants you to kind of sacrifice your entire existence for them.
