Finding Home

Ellen Waldron Richards

4.9/5 (22740 ratings)

Description:With compassion for most, and sometimes humorous vignettes of daily life among a varied cast of characters, the author tells the story of her childhood and youth in a changing world. Born in 1934, she comes to adolescence in the early postwar years. Trying to escape from family-related difficulties and lured by her vision of a life of freedom, she steps out the door at 16 bound for the University of Chicago and its experimental undergraduate program. She finds fine teachers, good friends, and cultural opportunities. But, socially inexperienced and carrying heavy emotional baggage, she struggles with anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Problems are magnified when, two years later, she finishes the undergraduate program, moves from dormitory housing, and finds herself adrift. After several difficult years, soon to turn 21, she encounters two situations that turn her world upside one, the unexpected and ill-comprehended realization that she has strong gay inclinations; the other, a major tragedy involving the young man she was to marry that spring. Now living in Boston, where circumstances have brought her, she begins to rebuild her life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
