Description
Will I be content with the silence that creeps in my mind when demands are not put upon it? I was nervous about my upcoming free time. I was nervous about discovering who I am when I'm not moving. I had so many layers of characters to hide behind along my life's journey, that I wasn't sure where I would land. Who am I?' em> Mistakes happen whether we are sitting still or constantly moving; their benefits arise out of what we choose to make of them. This is the challenge that Melissa Lowdon addresses in her heartening and humorous memoir, a tale in which she seeks out her identity and realizes that it is necessary to make mistakes-even big mistakes. From sibling rivalry to identity crisis, boot camp to higher education, the highs and lows of single parenthood to the welfare lines that accompany them, awareness solidifies with the turning of each page and arrives at an ending that encourages applause. No one is alone in the journey to find an identity that fits, and Melissa encourages her readers to join her journey before diverging on their own paths.
