Standing in her children?s bedroom, Harrison asks, ?How did it happen that I got from there to here?? The bestselling author ofTheKissandTheSealWifewrites with honesty and grace of how her early longing for the mother who abandoned her led to a pattern of self-destructive behavior, from shoplifting to bulimia, and to yearning for ways to transcend and even erase her physical self, to become the perfect child her mother could love.
