A testament to the power of self-discovery and the resilience of the human spirit.Soledad O'Brien: Loved Anita Finlay's book - a wonderful, hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking read. Despite her best efforts to sidestep landmines in a turbulent household, Anita grew up fighting. She spent as much time defending her hard-working mother to a brilliant but abusive father as she did defending herself from her mom's criticism. Finally cobbling together a joyful life, Anita feared that becoming her mother's mother would ruin the paradise she'd struggled to build. But with the clock ticking ever faster, she ached to make peace with her beloved mom before losing her. Careening down the bumpy road of elder care while revisiting pivotal life events, Anita unearthed the reasons for their many battles, determined to lay to rest the demons that had haunted her most of her adult life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The author grew up sailing during summers in Maine which instilled in him an abiding passion and curiosity about sailing and the natural world.
