- Summary:
- Carl Jung said, "children are driven, unconsciously, in a direction that is intended to compensate for everything that was left unfulfilled in the life of their parents." It is this very statement that haunts bestselling author Jennifer Lauck and inspired her to write "Show Me the Way, a rich tapestry of honest, anecdotal, and touching stories from the trenches of motherhood. Having lost both of her parents at an early age, Jennifer Lauck, acclaimed author of the memoir "Blackbird, as well as its follow-up, "Still Waters, has to come to terms with her past in order to move forward as a mother to her own children. Written in Lauck's poetic style and with great clarity, "Show Me the Way is frank, funny, and never cloying. Starting at the very beginning with the elementary question, "Are you going to have kids?" this is indeed both a universal story of motherhood and the search for fulfillment and a memoir of one woman's personal growth throughout parenthood.
