EXCELLENT VACATION READ!!!

Revisado: 10-03-23

I love this book. Plain and simple. It had all you need in a book. I went to Maine for my vacation in September, and my friend met me there during the vacation. We planned to have a "Maine book." I chose this for us as it's written by Mr. King who lives in Maine and writes in Maine. The story partially takes place in Maine and in Dallas where my friend and I live. She read the actual book, and I listened to the Audible performance. Craig Wasson did a masterful job of bringing the characters to life. I'm late to the game becoming a Stephen King fan at age 65. My youngest son who is 27 has been reading Mr. King's books since he was about 12 years old. He knows all the "ins-and-outs" of his novels and works. I really appreciated Stephen's voice at the end of the book. I agree with him. I'm sorry, Tabitha. I'm usually all for the "girls" in this world, but this time, I had to side with your husband!!! Also, fun fact, my friend that joined me in Maine had Stephen King's daughter as her Unitarian minister in Carrollton, TX a few years back. Small world, huh? History and harmonics!!! xoxo

Harry, You Did Quite Well!

Revisado: 02-27-23

As a mental health therapist, I was curious to hear Harry’s story. He also learned that as we heal, we often are estranged from family members who don’t prescribe to being healed from the traumas of our past. Harry’s words are a reminder that no amount of money nor privilege can shield us from developmental traumas.

I AM a Dr. Gabor Mate fan!! Big Time, but...

Revisado: 10-10-22

I love all that Dr. Mate writes and speaks about. As a matter of fact, if you haven't watched the documentary The Wisdom of Trauma, please find it and watch it. Everyone could benefit from watching this documentary. Much of this book is quite wonderful. There are chapters, I struggled to get through without rushing them. I bet Daniel Mate is a genius in his own right, but this non-fiction book didn't call for a change of voices. (In this humble narrator's opinion.). If this is your only time to get to know Dr. Gabor's teaching, then, this book is fabulous! If you've watched tons of his Youtube vids as I have, then you know quite a bit of this literature. I'm not saying that it's not worth hearing his teaching another time, and there are new nuggets to glean from this book. As I stated, certain chapters didn't seem needed, and I really wish Dr. Mate had read his book although I applaud any parent/adult child teaming up for such important work.

Not Bad...

Revisado: 03-21-21

This wouldn’t have been my choice. I’m part of a book club so this book was a choice one month. I cooked a few of the recipes. Being a vegetarian, many of these foods discussed aren’t appealing to me. Ruth is an interesting writer. There’s a bit of The NY Times monied snooty-ness as I would expect. Not a bad read if you are a foodie.

One of my favs

Sometimes I wanted to smack Christie, but her vulnerability in revealing her story was perfection. Thank you.

What A Story Teller!

Revisado: 09-16-20

We took a long drive this week and listened to this book both coming and going on our journey. Trevor is a perfect story teller! He’s been blessed with a unique point of view. What an homage to his mom! The book is well-written, but my favorite part is Trevor’s performance! Thank you, Trevor Noah, for your gifts! America loves you!

I Wanted...

Revisado: 06-25-20

To love this book. I really did. I love the concept of untamed women. I just didn’t love all the self-congratulatory manner found throughout the book. When it’s good, it’s spot on. When it’s not, it’s too much Glennon giving herself high fives for being special. I agree she is a special writer. So, suppose I can’t honestly explain my gripe with many portions of the book. Read it. Or listen to it. I could be wrong.
