Reviving Ophelia by Mary Pipher, PhD: 9781101077764 : Books 1 New York Times Bestseller The groundbreaking work that poses one of the most provocative questions of a generation: what is happening to the selves. Franchesca reveals in therapy that she feels like she is not a part of her own family and longs to know her biological parents and learn more about her cultural roots. However, in junior high her grades and behavior slid, and Franchesca’s parents worried they had not done enough to acknowledge her heritage as a Native American. Like many stories before, her pre-pubescent years were relatively normal. Originally born into a Lakota Sioux tribe, she was adopted as an infant by a white family. Chapter 5 opens with an anecdote about a 14-year-old adopted girl, Franchesca, whose story serves as “an example of how complicated family life could be in the 1990s” (113). ![]()
