What life delivers to us forms us all, but as surely as random .. events shape our lives, so too does our response to those events. Something happens, something tragic, immutable and unfair (whatever that means). So what are we going to do? Cave in? Become controlling, rageful? Shut down? Live lives of quiet desperation? At the center of this elegant, painful, stunningly honest memoir thrums a question fundamental to what it means to be human: What do we do with what we’ve been given?
An interesting observation and question. Maybe Petria King's quote might be one way to look for an answer.
The Book was reviewed in last weekend's Spectrum. Will track it down and have a look. Found the review quite useful and informative.
