Here comes the shimmer...\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom irreverent NYC blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones comes an account of her \"misadventures in motherhood, love, and epilepsy\" that James Patterson calls \"smart, harrowing, heart-warming, and very funny.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat do Da Vinci, Agatha Christie, and blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones have in common? If you said \"timeless artistic genius\", stop sucking up--the answer is ecstatic epilepsy. In this hilarious and moving dispatch from the frontlines of neurodiversity, Jones chronicles life with these terrifying-yet-beautiful grand mal seizures. Characteristic of Jones's condition are attacks which leave her with what Zen Buddhists sometimes refer to as a \"beginner's mind\" a vast, open expanse of headspace, coupled with a creative euphoria. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith bracing candor and humility, Jones describes living with chronic illness, single motherhood, and her day-to-day life as a hapless writer in NYC. Above all, Jones reminds us to fight the battle for becoming who we are supposed to be--no matter how much flopping around on the ground and wetting ourselves we have to do to get there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alisa Kennedy Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623545285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623545284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imagine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018","brand":"Alisa Kennedy Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069702303999,"sku":"9781623545284","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27cd5646-76b3-4071-9287-237ec0ea8076.jpg?v=1685426016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gotham-girl-interrupted-alisa-kennedy-jones-9781623545284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
