Dancing on Coals: A Memoir of an Overperformer
(eBook)
Description
An award-winning playwright's story of her madcap race to find fame or enlightenment-a unique angle on "the heroine's journey"-that's perfect for fans of Lori Gottleib's Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. In Dancing on Coals, Cynthia Moore describes a multi-decade, harebrained search for love in all the wrong places, starting when her narcissistic mother abandons her to a Swiss finishing school. Devastated by her mother's betrayal, eleven-year-old Cynthia vows to become acceptable-but to whom? Seeking approval first as a madcap performance artist and then an as over-functioning therapist, our narrator is finally forced to abandon her competitive, masculine compulsivity for a genuine quest for inner truth. Ultimately, she finds her voice, develops her gifts, and discovers love, but not where she expected to find it. At times humorous and self-deprecating, at times poignant and heartbreaking, this is the story of one woman's path from abandonment to wholeness and authenticity.
