The Wrong Calamity: A Memoir� by Marsha Jacobson is a stirring and motivating autobiography full of honesty and heart. It�s the life story of a woman who found herself following deep pain and loss. Issues such as neglect, domestic abuse, eating disorders, and being a single parent were the matters she lived and dealt with. At times the trauma was so big she didn�t know what to do with it, and it seemed to seep out into other areas of her life. But she is living proof that beginning in calamity doesn�t mean you have to stay there or end up in it. You can overcome, and this is what this autobiography is all about.
Marsha was a vulnerable freshman in need of self-esteem when she met a guy at college with control issues. She decided to marry him because she was too scared to object, and they moved to Japan, where she worked at Mattel Toys. But her husband became more abusive as her success began to grow. Once back in America, she is caught up in a dramatic police chase that ends with her and her two young children escaping. She then pursues an MBA at Harvard while at the same time raising her daughters and trying to dodge and defend herself from her ex-husband, who seems out for revenge. She marries someone else, but his dark secrets come to life and destroy her relationships, illusions, and career.
Jacobson writes with honesty and emotion, which will bring readers a sense that they aren�t alone, that if others can escape the pain, so can they. The author writes with a good balance of pain and recovery, and that is one of the life lessons she offers here: you can recover from devastating events in your life. As you read, you will begin to see why she found herself in the calamities that she did, and she isn�t the only one.
Many women, and men, find themselves in situations that they donââ?¬â?¢t fully grasp, and due to past trauma, donââ?¬â?¢t have the will or means to prevent it until itââ?¬â?¢s perhaps too late. But there is a silver lining in her cloud, and basically, this memoir can be your silver lining if youââ?¬â?¢ve wound up in a similar situation and donââ?¬â?¢t know what to do or how to feel. You can improve your sense of self-worth and confidence. There is a lot of wisdom woven through this book, along with some wry wit. I love that she describes how she downplayed the warning signs that were right in front of her, as so many people do. And I love her success story, which is a beacon for anyone. If you are looking for a remarkable life journey that offers inspiration and insight, ââ?¬Å"The Wrong Calamity: A Memoirââ?¬Â? by Marsha Jacobson, should be at the top of your reading list.
