by Jo Singel
Category: Biography & Autobiography

Everyone has an intimate view of his or her own life. At times people are truthful with what they reveal about themselves. But more often than not, a person's innermost thoughts, desires, and dilemmas remain hidden from others-including close family and friends. People rarely reveal their past mistakes, but in The Dandelions of Woodlawn Avenue, author Jo Singel shares her unsent letters and her journal and diary entries with the world. If you have ever felt alone-emotionally in the dark, afraid and with no one to turn to-her story will connect you, soul-to-soul, with the everyday struggles, discoveries, joys, and challenges of an ordinary woman who wants to free herself of the imposed restrictions of society, culture, family, relationships and work demands. Jo's world is inhabited by disturbing portraits of people and relationships that go beyond the surface and explore the basic emotions of love, fear, anger, shame, and denial. The Dandelions of Woodlawn Avenue examines life and looks at what happens, what doesn't happen, and what might have been.
