And if you are a young child when you lose your parent, chances are that loss will echo throughout your life. Saving for Good: Adieu Maman is the story of how I rediscover my mother and find myself in the process. My story begins on two paths that eventually converge and lead to my birth. From a poor Polish village to a posh French seaside resort, my parents meet, marry and move to California. It is 1946 and life is good. In my three year old voice, I describe the world around me. But seven years later my life would change forever: my mother dies and my father disappears emotionally, my little brother acts out, and I erase all memories of my mother. Within two years my father remarries and new challenges arise. I begin to awkwardly blossom and mature, often to hilarious effect. I juggle trying to find my place within my \"new\" family, now with an older stepbrother as well as a new mom. I struggle to learn how to \"be\" - with my family, my friends and myself. Each chapter describes one year of my life and ends when I move away from home in 1966. Join me as I rediscover my real mother, Maman, and world that created the possibility of me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genie Saffren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194975667X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949756678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Virtualbookworm.com Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d","brand":"Genie Saffren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940362486015,"sku":"9781949756678","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d07a1ddb-e710-46b6-8ac0-d6bfeb027acc.jpg?v=1681446761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saving-for-good-genie-saffren-9781949756678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
