And if you are a young child when you lose your parent, chances are that loss will echo throughout your life. Saving for Good: Adieu Maman is the story of how I rediscover my mother and find myself in the process. My story begins on two paths that eventually converge and lead to my birth. From a poor Polish village to a posh French seaside resort, my parents meet, marry and move to California. It is 1946 and life is good. In my three year old voice, I describe the world around me. But seven years later my life would change forever: my mother dies and my father disappears emotionally, my little brother acts out, and I erase all memories of my mother. Within two years my father remarries and new challenges arise. I begin to awkwardly blossom and mature, often to hilarious effect. I juggle trying to find my place within my \"new\" family, now with an older stepbrother as well as a new mom. I struggle to learn how to \"be\" - with my family, my friends and myself. Each chapter describes one year of my life and ends when I move away from home in 1966. Join me as I rediscover my real mother, Maman, and world that created the possibility of me.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genie Saffren","offers":[{"title":"eBook (pdf)","offer_id":56163659972930,"sku":"adt1789305377174","price":7.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook (epub)","offer_id":56163660005698,"sku":"hsg1789305377175","price":6.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":56163660038466,"sku":"kfi1789305377176","price":11.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8297\/7090\/files\/saving-for-good-adieu-maman_1.jpg?v=1789305384","url":"https:\/\/modiquestyle.shop\/products\/saving-for-good-adieu-maman","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
