Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xiv, [2], 224 pages. Bookplate on fep with three signed inscriptions, with the author's in the center. The other two signatures are of her daughters, Amanda and Stephanie. Debra Gwartney is the author of Live Through This, a memoir published in 2009 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. The book was also a finalist in 2009 for the National Books for a Better Life Award and the Oregon Book Award, and was shortlisted for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award. Jeff Baker, book critic for The Oregonian, named Live Through This one of top ten Pacific Northwest Books of the year. Debra is a recipient of fellowships from The Writer's Center, the American Antiquarian Society, Portland's Literary Arts, The Oregon Arts Commission, The Wurlitzer Foundation, and Hedgebrook Writers Colony. In 2000, she was a scholarship winner for the Breadloaf Writers Conference. Debra is a member of the faculty for Pacific University's MFA in Writing program. Derived from a Kirkus review: Profoundly moving memoir of the author's agony and perseverance as she lost her two teenage daughters to the streets, and of the slow, painful reconciliation they eventually found. Gwartney did not see at first that the girls were becoming two halves of a single alienated self. She didn't understand their angry sorrow and was bewildered that she could not find a way to fix their injuries. Both succumbed to the lure of the streets, to drugs and booze, panhandling, and stumbling home when they wished, reeking of urine, filth, and fury. When Amanda was 16 and Stephanie 14, they left for good. Gwartney tries to make sense of it all: why this happened to her and her daughters, who is to blame, why nothing did any good. The girls did at last come home, and slowly began to save themselves. Yet Gwartney's relief was tempered by the thought that they had been redeemed not because of her but despite her. In 2003, Amanda gave birth to a son. As mother and daughters lay together in bed comforting the newborn, a love that was always there but lost amidst rage and recriminations was rediscovered. An achingly beautiful chronicle of unfathomable sorrow, flickering hope and quiet redemption.
