From the author of the bestselling and “jaw-dropping” (Toronto Star) memoir North of Normal, the harrowing story of a past that won’t let go, and one woman’s attempt to put her life back together after everything falls apart.
In North of Normal, Cea Sunrise Person wrote with grace about her unconventional childhood—her early years living in a tipi in Alberta with her pot-smoking, free-loving counterculture family. But her struggles do not end when she leaves her family at the age of thirteen to become a model. Honest and daring, Nearly Normal reveals the many ways that Cea’s unconventional childhood continues to reverberate through the years.
By the age of thirty-seven, Cea has built a life that looks like the normal one she craved as a child, but her carefully art-directed world is about to crumble around her. Driven to find answers about her enigmatic family, Cea finally faces the need to look at her past to make sense of her present. Most important, she discovers the power of taking responsibility for her own choices.
