In Nearly Normal, Ms. Person deals mainly with the more recent parts of her life.....after she had left the wilderness and began working as a model, marrying and have children. She talks about how her unconventional upbringing continues to affect her life -- her own feelings and the kinds of decisions she makes. She also goes back to her earlier life and reveals incidents she found too painful to include in her first book. It is a testament to personal resilience, the strength of family ties, and forgiveness. This woman has had a remarkable life and has used her story in hopes of helping others. Her book is a reminder that people are not always what they appear to be; many are struggling with issues from their past or present. Ms. Person reminded me that we should all be kinder to each other. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the author of the bestselling memoir North of Normal comes the harrowing story of a past that won't let go, and one woman's attempt to put her life back together after everything falls apart In her bestselling memoir North of Normal, Cea wrote with grace about her unconventional childhoodâ??her early years living in a tipi in Alberta with her pot-smoking, free-loving counterculture family. But her struggles do not end when she leaves her family at the age of thirteen to become a model. Honest and daring, Nearly Normal reveals the many ways that Cea's unconventional childhood continues to reverberate through the years. At the age of thirty-seven, Cea has built a life that looks like the normal one she craved as a childâ??husband, young son, beautiful house, enviable career. But her carefully art-directed world is about to crumble around her. As she confronts the death of her still-young mother, the disintegration of her second marriage and the demise of her business, all within a few months, she finally faces the need to look at her past to make sense of her present. The Globe and Mail says "Person's best gifts as a writer are her memory, her knack for knowing when to dig down into the finer details of a scene, and when to pull back." Nearly Normal chronicles the many stories Cea left untold but that needed telling. Settled into a new and much happier life after the release of her first book, she is nonetheless compelled to continue searching for answers about her enigmatic family. She discovers the value in the lessons they taught her, and the power of taking responsibility for her own choices Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
