SUMMARY:Ann McCloskey Book Launch of These Dreams of You
DESCRIPTION:In These Dreams of You\, Ann McCloskey tells her story of lovingly raising a remarkable daughter who developed mental illness and died young. McCloskey’s memoir follows her pivot from years of striving to save her anorectic daughter to ultimately supporting her as she lived out her life in the manner she chose as an adult. Written from the heart\, McCloskey’s personal narrative conveys hope and resilience as she prevails through her grief with no regrets about her parenting. \nThese Dreams of You is a moving story that has been called sad and devastating but also full of truth and love and grace. While McCloskey’s story offers an unvarnished account of her challenges in raising her extraordinary daughter\, it also conveys the depth of love she felt for her. Interspersed throughout the narrative are several lyrical letters written by mother to daughter since the daughter’s death. \nMcCloskey will read from her book and talk about the rewards and challenges in writing an honest and unflinching story laden with emotional content. McCloskey’s discussion of her memoir writing process will inform those who are interested in better understanding the genre and inspire those who may want to write their own stories. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing
