My Story (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the author of I Wanted to Grow Old With You and A Widow's Words comes a new collection of empowering poems and essays focused on life, love, and gaining wisdom and self-confidence as we age. My Story is a compelling memoir composed of more than one hundred poems and essays that explore the author's life, inner conflict, and eventual journey to self-acceptance. This often poignant and frequently humorous collection explores personal issues that plagued the author in her childhood and teens and how the birth of her son was the catalyst that pushed her to triumph over anxiety, self-sabotage, and negative self-image, and ultimately led her to discover her love of creative writing.The memoir touches on profound themes including generational trauma, anxiety, and widowhood, but also captures the joys of motherhood, the delights of love and marriage, valuable life lessons, and overcoming our inner critic to achieve body positivity and self-love. Seniors will especially appreciate the poems devoted to the unpredictability of dating over sixty, the joys of grandparenting, and coming to terms with aging.Beautifully written, My Story is an honest personal account of one woman's life journey that will resonate with anyone who has battled lifetime insecurities to achieve personal growth, self-acceptance, and inner peace.
