What We Have
Author: Amy Boesky
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101458933
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Read Amy Boesky's blogs and view other content on the Penguin Community. The stirring true story of a woman who chose fearlessness in the face of a fatal family legacy and discovered the pleasure of living each moment to its fullest At thirty-two, Amy Boesky thought she had it all figured out: a wonderful new man in her life, a great job, and the (nearly) perfect home. For once, she was almost able to shake the terrible fear that had gripped her for as long as she could remember. Women in her family had always died young-from cancer-and she and her sisters had grown up in time's shadow. It colored every choice they made and was beginning to come to a head now that each of them approached thirty-five-the deadline their doctors prescribed for having preventive surgery with the hope they could thwart their family's medical curse. But Amy didn't want to dwell on that now. She wanted to plan for a new baby, live her life. And with the appreciation for life's smallest pleasures, she did just that. In What We Have, Amy shares a deeply transformative year in her family's life and invites readers to join in their joy, laughter, and grief. In a true story as compelling as the best in women's fiction, written with the sagacity of Joan Didion and the elegance of Amy Bloom, Amy Boesky's journey celebrates the promise of a full life, even in the face of uncertainty.

Pages : 133
Book Description
I don't know why I've written this book, I don't even know if anyone will ever read past this blurb but what I do know is.... Tough times don't last, Tough people do! As a child you have delusions of grandeur that by the time you're 30 you'll be famous, have a huge house and possibly even servants....Yeah right...More likely a 9-5 job, boyfriend and grossly, hair in places that really isn't necessary! At 28 my life wasn't what I'd imagined and was about to get a whole lot further from that childhood fantasy.... I'm not gonna give too much away, just simply say that I write about my experiences...Please don't buy this thinking it's a Bridget Jones blockbuster, more like the Lambrini drinking, day time TV watching version...where cheating arseholes are seen for what they really are, grannies are people to beware of and revenge is the only drug you will ever need. So for those of you struggling with a break up, feeling like your life is just stuck in a rut or dwelling on the past......Read on and move forward....I hope I can make you realise... A clock doesn't go backwards so why should you!
