Chasing Normal

Chasing Normal

In her poignant memoir, Beck offers a courageous and unvarnished account of her childhood; a landscape scarred by trauma, abuse, and neglect, where the guiding presence of loving parents was conspicuously absent. She paints an intimate portrait of how a child navigates the turbulent waters of life when the anchors of family support are absent. But Beck's memoir is not just a recounting of past trauma; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Within these pages, Beck doesn't shy away from the raw truth of her struggles - the crippling mental breakdowns, the daily battle to simply survive. Yet, in the depths of her despair, she embarks on a profound journey to find the love and kindness she deserved as a child, seeking out those who would become her surrogate guides and nurturers, helping her reparent herself, learn to love, and ultimately heal. Chasing Normal is a testament to the transformative power of relationships and the enduring human capacity to heal, no matter how shattered one's past may be.
