Becoming Me
Author: Kay Rose-Hattrick
Publisher: eBook Partnership
ISBN: 1783015640
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
'Becoming Me' is a fairytale about a girl from Sheffield. She's statistically average, but not necessarily ordinary. Since being a young girl, she has pondered how she fits into the world, discovering herself along the way, desperate to remember who she was, not who she had become. She had conformed to the programme that her father and the rest of society had expected her to follow, and that made her ill. At forty, she emerged as a dragonfly from her old life, desperate to break free from the system and live a simple life, free of consumerism. Her dream: to be self-sustaining; tend the land and look after animals. After being made redundant from the NHS, moving a three bedroomed house into her van, she escaped to rural Portugal with her husband, never planning to return. Becoming Me is about a girl everyone can relate to, because she's real. She still has her dream and is more determined than ever to fulfil her life's purpose. You will cry and laugh out loud at her life's ups and downs, in a world without mercy."e;A memoir of force and charm which gives a visitor to Earth a great insight into the spiritual, emotional and working life of an 'average' female living in Britain from 1970 to 2010. Shockingly honest and funny."e; Tom Butler-Bowdon, author of Never Too Late To Be Great and 50 Self-Help Classics
