An intimate dual memoir by Mother (Sue Monk Kidd) and daughter (Ann Kidd Taylor) who traveled together to sacred sites throughout Greece and France between 1998 and 2000. It touches the issues of aging (for mother), career decision (for daughter), the sacred feminine, the creative process behind the writing of "The Secret Life of the Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, and of course, the reaffirmation of mother-daughter bonding.
Written by Kay Redfield Jamison, "the clinical psychologist whose widely acclaimed 1995 memoir, "An Unquiet Mind," revealed her lifelong struggle with manic-depressive illness. "Nothing Was the Same" is the story of her marriage to the late Richard Wyatt, a man who overcame severe childhood dyslexia to become a leader in schizophrenia research." It is a story of "true love" that saw the couple through her mental illness and his cancer and ultimate death. The best writing is in the chapter "Mourning and Melancholia" that compares grief and depression. The penetrating insights, gained from first-hand experience, were written so beautifully that I could not help but sighed deeply and frequently.
