Summary:
In 1957, when Amy Turner was four years old, her father had to be talked down from a hotel ledge by a priest. The story of his attempted suicide received nationwide press coverage, and he spent months in a psychiatric facility before returning home. From then on, Amy constantly worried about him for reasons she didn't yet fully understand, triggering a pattern of hypervigilance that would plague her into adulthood. In 2010, fifty-five years after her fathers attempted suicide, Amynow a wife, mother, and lawyer-turned-schoolteacheris convinced shes dealt with all the psychological reverberations of her childhood. Then she steps into a crosswalk and is mowed down by a pickup truckan accident that nearly kills her, and that ultimately propels her on a remarkable emotional journey. With the help ofacupuncture, somatic-oriented therapies, and serendipities that might be attributed to grace, Amy first unravels the trauma of her own brush with death and then, unexpectedly, heals the childhood trauma buried far deeper. Poignant and intimate,On the Ledgeis Amys insightful and surprisingly humorous chronicle of coming to terms with herself and her parents as the distinct, vulnerable individuals they are. Perhaps more meaningfully, it offers proof that no matter how far along you are in life, it's never too late to find yourself.
