Riassunto

The author relates the crisis she experienced when doctors diagnosed her 4-month-old child with meningitis and uses this story to show how, much like a hang glider, a person must go through a lot of turbulence before he or she gets the lift needed for a positive life experience. By the best-selling author of The Middle Place. 250,000 first printing.

Recensione:

"Although we've never met, I love Kelly Corrigan like a friend. Her work gives me a rich sense of intimacy with someone who is full of life and hard-fought wisdom. She's hilarious, tender-hearted, tough, loyal, wild, and screwed-up--like all the coolest women I know."―Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird and Traveling Mercies

Praise for The Middle Place

"For two days I ignored my family while I devoured Kelly Corrigan's memoir. I spent a good part of that time crying, but mostly I was laughing . . . She captures our hearts and teaches us something new about family, love, and yes, even death."―Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother and Love and Other Impossible Pursuits

L'autore:

Kelly Corrigan is, more than anything else, the mother of two young girls. While they're at school, Kelly writes a newspaper column, the occasional magazine article, and possible chapters of a novel.
