4.9/5 (30691 ratings)

Description:After a series of traumatic events (including the end of a 15-year marriage and multiple sexual assaults), a woman discovers she must face the reality of her life, or end it. On a scrap of paper she writes “Reasons to Live.” It stays blank for days. Then, she remembers her old move to Europe.By pet-sitting in exchange for lodging, she makes this dream a reality, finding solace in exploring new landscapes and spending time with animals. Against a backdrop of fur-filled adventures and cultural revelations, she battles the demons of C-PTSD and grief as she attempts to rebuild her identity and her life.One Reason to Live embodies a visceral experience of living with psychiatric injury, combined with the power of radical acceptance, sweetened by the healing quality of animal companionship and the joy of embracing self-love.--- “Not for the faint of heart, Christine Rose’s memoir, One Reason to Live , describes her strength and willingness to build her life back into a state of well-being after multiple traumas including sexual violence, an ending marriage, and some very confusing relationships. Poignant, yet hopeful, this book will evoke many emotions in its readers. Christine’s wonderful travel stories, complete with a cast of adorable pets she takes care of, will have readers laughing, crying, and cheering.” —Kristi Elizabeth, San Francisco Book Review"Rose chronicles her darkest moments...in forceful prose that will resonate with anyone who’s experienced despair, but she infuses the writing with morsels of that elusive hope that foreshadow her inspirational-but still relatable-comeback. Wanderlust fills up the spaces in between, making this as gripping as it is profound." ~ Booklife Reviews, by Publisher's Weekly“…raw, tender, and ultimately, far more moving than anything I’ve read in the genre before…If you often find memoirs to be lacking in soul, give this one a try, you won’t be disappointed!” ~ Beatrice Toothman, Manhattan Book Review"One Reason to Live is a prime example of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and support to overcome even the most devastating of circumstances. It is a must-read for anyone who needs inspiration and encouragement in their journey toward healing and self-discovery.” ~Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite“…what makes this memoir a winner is the compelling message that when broken individuals make the decision to face their past, they begin to create a life of purpose and significance.” ~ Daniel Rhodes, The Book CommentaryWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
