Historia
In her memoir You Could Make This Place Beautiful, poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself in lyrical vignettes that shine, hard and clear as jewels. The book begins with one woman’s personal, particular heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes.

Historia
Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times.

In the 1980s, Erika Bornman’s family join, and ultimately move to, KwaSizabantu, a Christian mission based in KwaZulu-Natal, which is touted as a nirvana, founded on egalitarian values. But something sinister lurks beneath ‘the place where people are helped’. Life at KwaSizabantu is hard. Christianity is used to justify harsh punishments, and congregants are forced to repent for their sins. Threats of physical violence ensure adherence to stringent rules. Parents are pitted against children. Friendships are discouraged.

By her teens, she defined herself based on these perceptions and by the romantic relationships she threw herself into headlong. Over time, Febos increasingly questioned the stories she’d been told about herself and the habits and defences she’d developed over years of trying to meet others’ expectations.

Resumen del Editor
Abandoned by her mother...
Ronit was six years old when her mother left her and her four-year-old sister for India to follow a cult guru. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, whose commune was responsible for the largest biological attack on US soil, preached that children were hindrances and encouraged sterilizations among his followers. Luckily Ronit's father, who'd left the family the previous year, stepped up and brought the girls to live with him first in Newark, New Jersey, and later in Flushing, Queens. On the surface, his nurturing was the balm Ronit sought, but she soon paid a second emotional price, taking on the role of partner and confidant to him, and substitute mother to her sister. By the end of her childhood, Ronit would discover she had lost her mother and the close and trusting relationship she once had with her father. Though they have had a relationship now for years, she grappled with the toll her mother's leaving took, measuring her self-worth by her absence.
When She Comes Back is the story of a family trying to find itself, grownups who don't know how to be adults, and the pain a child feels when she discovers that her love for her mother is not enough to make that parent stay. When She Comes Back is also a story of resilience and reconciliation, how rejection by the most important person in Ronit's life ultimately led to an unflagging commitment to, and love for her own children.

Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the roses in front. But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door - Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house.

Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age 21, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book.

Historia
In an idyllic Los Angeles neighborhood, where generations enjoy deep roots in old homes, the O’Rourke family fits right in. Miriam and Craig are both artists and their four children carry on the legacy. When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course. Like the 10 Biblical plagues, they are hit by one catastrophe after another: violence, evictions, arrests, a suicide attempt, a near-drowning - even cancer and a brain tumor - play against the backdrop of a wild teenage bacchanal.

Fantastic Memoir
I love this memoir. I didn’t think I could ever binge an audible book. The narration by the author is beautiful. I could hear her pain, love and strength in her voice as she tells her incredible story.

Kibbutzim, Cults, & Ashrams, oh my!
This was the perfect road trip book for my drive from Central Oregon to Seattle. The narrator/author does an excellent job of inhabiting her younger self and her puzzling childhood. When her mostly absent mother who’s own search for identity takes her to India and later to the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh’s Oregon compound, Ronit is left to puzzle with why she wasn’t enough (or perhaps too much) for her mother to stay. Ronit and her younger sister are left to be raised by her father, who ironically had deserted her first. Her story is a fascinating study in how children adapt when the adults in their lives behave poorly. I finished this audiobook just as I rounded the corner to take in the Seattle skyline and it reminded me there is more than one way to go home. If you were a fan of the Docuseries Wild, Wild, Country this book adds another layer to the story.

Surprising Gem of a Memoir
Ronit Plank has the amazing ability to recall her childhood memories and illustrate them in such a way that we can all reminisce at how we used to view the world as children. Although the topic of a mother leaving her children to join a cult seems disturbing, Ronit managed to tell her story with love, optimism and understanding. It's a pretty quick "read" because it was hard to put down.
Her reading of her own memoir was very well done. You can understand why she was successful at acting in high school :-)

Memorable and Inspiring
I didn't want the book to end. The subject is intriguing because we rarely get an inside glimpse into cults from a family member. What was inspiring was the way the listener is pulled into the life of a young girl as seen through her eyes as she grows up waiting for her mother to return home and be present in her life. I found the book very inspiring and having the author narrate the book brought us an even more personal perspective. The details and brutal honesty brought such authenticity.

Engaging coming of age story with heartache
I really enjoyed this audiobook. Ronit Plank did an amazing job both writing the book and narrating. At times I ached for little Ronit, at other times I felt the intense love and longing for a mother out of reach. Spread across a variety of settings—a kibbutz in Israel, California, New Jersey, and Queens—the narrative holds nostalgia in places and time. You can’t help but love this narrator and feel her pains and joys.

Worth the listen
A worthwhile read for every parent considering divorce. Open and honest writing. The final conversation with her mom made the book for me. It’s so rare to get the answers one longs for in relationships.
