Attic Of Dreams: A Memoir - 9781578691326

Attic of Dreams is a lyrical memoir beginning in a quiet Vermont village where Marilyn, as a young girl, was raised in a not-quiet home. Her parents ran a colorful restaurant and nightclub where her mother disappeared into addiction. In spite of feelings of abandonment, Marilyn was uplifted by the quaint village, by her dreams, and by the kindness of others.In young adulthood, she lands on a beautiful estate known as Shelburne Farms, where she helps to launch valuable movements for the region, but not without cost to her personal life. As she works in various social justice and environmental issues to protect the outer world, she begins to heal her inner self. But is recovery possible? This story of a private life is deeply intertwined with valuable movements of the region: local food and farmers' markets, outdoor childhood education, and the stewardship of natural resources. Attic of Dreams examines generational dysfunction while humor counters tragedy, and forgiveness counters blame. Trust and love emerge as the journey to wholeness continues.
