Susanna Sonnenberg - She Matters [Kindle azw3] (Size: 2.6 MB)
DescriptionSusanna Sonnenberg - She Matters  Sonnenberg follows her harrowing memoir of her dysfunctional mother, Her Last Death (2008), with this equally frank assessment of female friendships. Perhaps because she suffered so much neglect at her mother’s hands, Sonnenberg looked to her female friends to provide recognition and nurturing at each of the key stages in her life. In grade school and college, as a newlywed and then a young mother, and during her parents’ deaths, she avidly sought out sustenance from her friends to carry her through. There are some stunning moments of connection here: one college acquaintance is unafraid of Sonnenberg’s staggering grief after her father’s death and steps in to both mourn with and comfort her during an extremely stressful period. There are also many brutally candid snapshots of female friendships gone awry, as some were put off by Sonnenberg’s voracious need, maintaining that friendship is a two-way street. What comes through clearly, though, are the author’s unwavering search for connection and her fearlessness in exposing both the highs and lows of the process. Women will find plenty to relate to here. Publisher: Scribner (September 10, 2013) Language: English ISBN-10: 1439190607 ISBN-13: 9781439190609 Sharing Widget |
