In 2001, the Surgeon General of the U.S. issued a report stating rejection as a greater risk for adolescent violence than drugs, poverty, or gang membership. In Growing Old: One Lucille Ball Moment at a Time, author Heather Westover takes a hard look at her life and recounts the hardships, pain, and spirit that drove her to rise above those feelings of not being good enough. It took her fifty years of hiccups and social tragedy to finally find a way to accept herself. The author is really hoping to reach those who are striving to embrace the life they have left, and deal with some things that may still be trying to hold them back. Along the way you will find yourself reevaluating your life experiences, laughing, crying, and being grateful it's someone else that owns these embarrassing moments.
This book is for you if you or someone you love:
- Feels isolated and alone in a group of people
- Endured social rejection by friends, classmates, or peers
- Experiences unresolved feelings from past trauma
Growing Old: One Lucille Ball Moment at a Time shows us there's hope to be found, laughter to enjoy, and healing for the soul when you do the hard work!
