Eternally Awkward: A Future Mom of Eight Reflects on Mysteries of Anxiety, ADHD and Coming of Age in the 80s

by Amy Liz Harrison

Overview

Harrison's first book, Eternally Expecting, pulled back the veil on marriage, giving birth to eight children, and how postpartum depression fueled her alcoholism. Ultimately, it revealed the touching story of her first decade of sobriety. In Eternally Awkward, Harrison jumps in the DeLorean to revisit the mysteries of her childhood, growing up in California in the 1980's. Before she was the unapoiogetically quirky mom of eight, she was obsessed by Michael Jackson, Moonlighting, and playing Clue. Prepare to giggle, cringe, and follow the clues that lead Harrison to the missing piece of her personal mental health mystery-ADHD. Her hope is that this story will encourage others to come to terms with their own mental health challenges and seek treatment, as well as make them laugh along the way.
