Overview
Option to Renew is the memoir of one woman's humorous search for self-acceptance, understanding, and peace. With her 'wacky' stream of consciousness as our tour guide, she takes us through her early years and some of her most memorable moments. Through her gift for self-expression, readers get an intimate look into the mind and heart of a sensitive child, turned adult, and then mother. Nothing is off limits in this unfiltered confessional from a woman in a 'complicated relationship' with life. Fast-paced, and ridiculously random, we don't have any idea what the next chapter will bring, which is both refreshing and curious. With deliberate sarcasm and endearing thankfulness thrown in for balance, most will see themselves in her words though not directed or encouraged to do so. We cheer for this woman's happiness like we would a dear friend. That alone makes this memoir worth a read. Charming silliness aside, this book explores some grand life concepts. When all is 'read and done', readers are inclined to consider the power in owning choice and perhaps strive for an indiscriminate forgiveness of self, and of others too. Language, insight and unique use of conversational writing, make this an easy and enjoyable read.
