商品簡介
"In this engrossing memoir, Judy McConnell journeys back into her 1940 to 1950s childhood and teen years. With an almost astonishing memory for details, she invites the reader into the mind, heart, and spirit of young girlhood of the period, highlighting not only the awkwardness and innocence, but also an innate wisdom of independent, intelligent thought just beginning to be tapped. Her painful longing for love and recognition from her emotionally distant mother mirrors the need we all share for the unconditional affirmation of our uniqueness. Reading McConnell's excellent debut memoir, I look forward to more of her powerful storytelling in the second volume to come." –Nancy Raeburn, author of Mykonos: A Memoir
