About the Author
Kristin Edwards [A1] is an author and pastry chef. Her first memoir uses her own experience to examine resilience, healing, and the value of perseverance in defining the path of life.
Childhood and Family History
Edwards follows the path from her North Carolina childhood to Minnesota childhood, describing the impact of her parents’ divorce on her emotional state and behavior. She relates what went wrong as her parents’ marriage fell apart, impacting their relationship and directly on her life. The warmth and tensions of her childhood provide readers with a picture of how family influences her worldview.
Loss of Her Father
The turning point in the memoir is the sudden death of her father from a bicycle accident. Edwards describes the impact of the event with poignancy, illustrating how loss reshaped her conception of stability and self. The book reflects on the difficulty of coping with loss without constant support while acknowledging how these experiences can redefine one’s perspective.
Facing Breast Cancer During Pregnancy
The memoir also describes the challenging time when Edwards received a diagnosis of breast cancer while pregnant. Steering between medical treatment and the demands of preparing to become a mother, she drew on the support of her partner and son. Their support, she describes, played a key role in keeping her going through recovery.
Resilience and Building Boundaries
Throughout this read, Edwards ponders the importance of resilience and the process of setting boundaries for one’s own well-being. She discusses facing unhealthy family dynamics, developing a stronger sense of self, and focusing on an environment rooted in stability and nurturing. These choices, she says, were integral in establishing a healthier path for herself and her child.
