A HEALING FAMILY MEMOIR In many good families, there's an odd duck. Someone who doesn't quite fit. In my family, that's me. I wasn't always the different one. I had a wonderful childhood in a small Canadian town, with summers at a cottage on the lake. For a long time, I thought I'd been born into the perfect family. But then something changed. I questioned tradition. I felt restless and unsettled. I sought answers about my own life and life itself. At family gatherings, I became the odd one who'd rather talk to the water while everyone else talked politics. As life slid into middle-age, I began to wonder: if my family was so perfect, why did it feel as if I was drowning? I've waited until both my parents have passed before publishing this book because not everyone's going to agree with what I have to say. But that's okay with me. For in the last half of my life, I'd rather be hated for who I really am, than loved for what others want, need or imagine me to be. A LOVE LETTER FOR SEEKERS - Using interconnected stories and a rich, sensory style, Black unravels the history of her perfect family entangled with elusive truths about herself. If you're the different one in your family, Back to the Water will pull you into deep waters and deliver you - changed - to a lush, promising shore. READ BACK TO THE WATER TODAY to help release your past... and plant powerful seeds for your future.
