Donna Gilbertson Andersen: The Life You Get, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Life You Get: A Memoir of Recovery, Reward, and Reflection is a heartfelt, candid, and quietly powerful story of one woman's journey through eight decades of joy, struggle, faith, and resilience. Born a preacher's kid in mid-century Montana, Donna Gilbertson Andersen reflects on a life both ordinary and extraordinary, one marked by spiritual awakenings, emotional wounds, addiction and recovery, and hard-won personal growth. From her happy place at Flathead Lake, Montana, to her forever home in Morro Bay, California, from family bonds to heartbreak and healing, Andersen traces the turning points and the relationships that shaped her: an unwanted haircut, two marriages and divorces, the birth of her children, and more than forty years of sobriety.

Told with honesty, insight, and humor, The Life You Get is a deeply personal exploration of how identity, love, self-awareness, and friendships evolve over time. With warmth and the sure voice of an empowered woman, Andersen invites readers-especially her friends, family, and fellow baby boomers-to reflect on their own journeys and what it means to live a life of purpose and truth.
