Blind Sight

by Adeline Moore

Adeline Moore knows how frightening it can be to discover that something vital is missing from your life. It can be even worse to be completely unaware of this hole. Some people have such a distorted view of themselves that they literally can't see what's wrong in their lives. In this inspirational memoir and exploration of self-awareness, Moore uses examples from her own life to show you the importance of seeing the whole picture. She refuses to be blind and holds up a mirror to her own experiences and the experiences of her two troubled parents. The couple experienced illness, homelessness, poverty, and more. Neither was emotionally equipped to deal with the challenges of life, and they both struggled to cope with any kind of change. As she works her way back through their histories, Moore shows you how entwined three lives can be. She traces the trauma from her parents to her own life, learning that as long as you have an open mind and willing eyes, you can see the patterns progress in your own life and make the deliberate choice whether to let them continue. This is where self-awareness truly begins.
