“Separated from her brother Bryan, and passed from caretaker to caretaker, Jenny discovers - as she rebels her way through high school and into adulthood - that the past can never be truly locked away forever. She survived the stunning traumas of a lost childhood, but survival may not be a way of life. Now the secrets, lies and loneliness that once imprisoned her are brought into sharp focus, where an adult Jenny can make her peace at last. But one more mystery demands her attention: the quiet troubled soul of Bryan, who, lacking the inner strength of the survivor, chooses a sad and sorrowful destiny. And Jenny must dig deep to find the one bond that held them through the years, and the one reason any of us have for enduring: love.” #memior #biography #nonfiction #family #comingofage #mentalillness #relationships #inspirational #adult #psychology #paperback #bundle #JenniferLauck #Blackbird #StillWaters

Clutching her pink trunk filled with the relics of a lost childhood, twelve-year-old Jenny steps off a bus in Reno and into the wide-open future. Separated from her brother, Bryan, and passed from caretaker to caretaker, Jenny endures as she always has: by following the inner compass of the survivor. But when Bryan chooses a tragic destiny, Jenny must at last confront the secrets and lies that have held her prisoner for years. Embarking on a search for answers, the adult Jenny discovers that the past cannot be locked away -- even when unraveling one's own anger and pain seems impossible. Now, in the warmth of her marriage and in the eyes of her child, Jennifer finds her own miracles. A hardened heart learns to love. A damaged soul finds peace. And life, once merely a matter of survival, becomes rich with the joys of truly living.

STILL WATERS is the sequel to Jennifer Lauck’s New York Times bestselling memoir, BLACKBIRD. 

‘Anger is a poison ivy in the heart and if it grows unchecked, it covers all the soft spaces where you love and understand and feel joy.’ 

Still Waters is a story about learning to make peace with a past that was out of your control, as a child. Confronting and unraveling anger, as an adult, in order to live fully in the peace of a happy marriage and the love of having her own child. Beautiful and heartbreaking. #nonfiction #autobiography #hardcover #hope #childhood #memoir #NYTbestseller #personalgrowth #marriage
