The Names

What if a single word, your name could determine whether you break free from generational trauma or remain trapped within it? Florence Knapp's The Names follows Cora, a mother facing an impossible choice: name her newborn son after his abusive father and grandfather, or defy tradition and risk everything. Through parallel timelines, we witness how one decision at the registrar's office creates two entirely different lives, exploring nominative determinism, inherited trauma, and the courage required to rewrite a family's destiny.

In this KitUP, you'll learn:

• How names shape identity and self-fulfilling prophecies

• The mechanics of breaking intergenerational cycles of abuse

• Why small acts of defiance can transform entire family legacies
