"I never really had the guts to sit in the rear of the bus with the bad children, being known as a 'nice gal' - a feared label if you wanted to be part of the in audience." This is actually the story of a girl who matures running on the back streets of the Midwest and winds up taking the good way home. How can this pretty, educated, organically grown gal become an outcast in her own country? Set contrary to the backdrops of the competitive College or university of Michigan, the huge Front Selection of Colorado, the concrete jungle of Los Angeles, and a little backwoods home town in Michigan, this account winds its way through untrammeled wilderness as the search for belonging unfolds. Who does she think she is? How can she go about answering this question? Is she only who others think she is? The narrative is often reflective, questioning the nature of real life experiences and extending on the greater issues that lay just under the surface. The narrative is honest and will not sidestep the inconvenient or the unpleasant, but instead sheds light on the "convenient untruths" that many use as crutches to get through life. You will find no neatly tangled up endings no answers given here. The goal is to challenge regular thinking, cross out easy answers, and bring the reader in to the mind and heart of this reviewed life. Despite having the reflective pauses in the narrative, the pacing moves well as each short chapter merges in to the next as water falls over rocks.
