Critics Review

“Every family, like every fingerprint, has its own unique pattern of conflicts, values, and bonds. Michael Galler examines whether the bonds of family can be stronger than the forces working to dismantle it. It’s a physical and emotional battleground in which the underlying tension eventually leads you to its inevitable, cathartic conclusion.”—Gavin O’Connor, writer and director of Miracle, The Accountant, Warrior, and The Way Back “The Unraveling of Michael Galler is a thoughtful and emotionally charged exploration of endurance, obsession, and the fragile line between control and collapse—a haunting reminder that the world we fight to protect exists not only around us, but within us.”—Jacqueline Friedland, USA Today best-selling author of He Gets That from Me and Counting Backwards “The Unraveling of Michael Galler lures you in as a poignant, even relatable, journey before it compels you into a suspenseful cautionary tale. Steven M. Rubin’s thought-provoking and visceral eloquence illuminates the adage that our thoughts become our words, words become our habits, and habits become our character—and ultimately our destiny.”—Vahe Gregorian, Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and sports columnist at The Kansas City Star
