Book Reviews of Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress
Book Review: Perfectly Imperfect
Summary: 5 Stars
To whom it may concern:
I have never written a book review (since college days) and am not qualified to comment on "Perfectly Imperfect" until I've had a chance to read it. I only know that a good friend who spends her winters in Tucson and belongs to a book club there raved about it and said I MUST read it and pass it on to my daughter. Our heart of the midlands small town library did not have the book, thus I turned to Amazon for the first time and was amazed at the price and quality of the book.
One other note, my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer last fall and overnight my wise daughter from Florida had a book sent to me from Amazon, complete with every question that I had on the subject or was bothering me at the time. The information I gained from this book helped me tremendously -- took some of the fear away and I felt as though I at least had a handle on the subject.
Thanks again!
Summary of Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress
?You can tell a woman?s whole life story from the possessions in her jewelry box. Like reading a palm, you can trace the points where her life has intersected with memorable events, people, places, and loves. You can speculate on the essence of her personality, all from what she has accumulated in that box.??from Perfectly ImperfectIn her acclaimed first book, In an Instant, Lee Woodruff, along with her husband, ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff, wrote eloquently and honestly about the struggles they faced together as Bob recovered from a traumatic brain injury sustained in Iraq. Now, with the same candor and clarity, Lee Woodruff chronicles her life as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
Woodruff?s deeply personal and, at times, uproariously funny stories highlight such universal topics as family, marriage, friends, and how life never seems to go as planned. On raising teenagers: ?Now with a boy and girl on the precipice of serious adolescence, the bathroom door is sealed tighter than a government nuclear testing ground.? On her changing body: ?Over the last ten years my own knees had begun to form those dreaded smiley faces, sagging underneath.? How she copes with tragedy: ?Swimming surrounds me in the velvet wet of a bluish green world where I can dive deep down and sob with no trace.? Even her sense of style: ?I?ve always been more Leave It to Beaver than Sex in the City.?
In a voice that is fresh, irreverently funny, and irresistible, Lee Woodruff traces the quiet moments and memorable events that have shaped her life in progress. Perfectly Imperfect is the testimonial of a woman who embraces the chaos of her surroundings, discovers the splendor of life?s flaws, and accepts that perfection is as impossible to achieve as a spotless kitchen floor.
