New Life, No Instructions by Gail Caldwell

5.0

Gail Caldwell writes of the pain that she's endured. Residual physical pain of childhood polio, emotional pain of admitting that she was an alcoholic, the blinding pain of a hip replacement, the gut wrenching pain of her mother's death and the pain of starting life anew after the loss of her best friend. Readers might believe that this would be a bleak book, but it's quite the contrary. Caldwell writes candidly of embracing her new life with the help of her many friends and her new Samoyed puppy. We all live our lives without instructions, we just never knew it. Submitted to LibraryReads
