Synopsis

I cannot figure out who I am as a body these days, writes Caryn Mirriam- Goldberg in this powerful, tender and humorous memoir about resiliency and love in the face of cancer. Mirriam- Goldberg braves breast cancer, the breast cancer genetic mutation and the loss of a parent by connecting with an eclectic Midwest community, the land and sky, and a body undergoing vast renovation. Along the way, she swims with stingrays in the Gulf of Mexico, searches for cream puff s for a Pennsylvania funeral, leads a group fi ghting to protect ecologically-essential land in Kansas, and helps students fi nd their own voice in Vermont. In searching for a new definition of the erotic through our awareness of nature, this memoir illuminates how our bodies are our most local address on the earth. Starred Review Library Journal
