PART 1: THE THANKSGIVING DINNER THAT ENDED MY SILENCE<\/h1>\n

\u201cREFILL YOUR BROTHER\u2019S GLASS. NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n

My father\u2019s voice cut across the Thanksgiving table just as I was setting down the last platter of turkey.<\/p>\n

I had been cooking since six that morning. My feet hurt, my blouse smelled like gravy, and I hadn\u2019t eaten anything except a piece of toast standing over the kitchen sink.<\/p>\n

My older brother, Brandon, leaned back in his chair and pushed his empty wineglass toward me with one finger.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou heard the boss, Emily,\u201d he said. \u201cTry moving a little faster. Some of us are actually enjoying Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n
