Off Kilter: A Woman's Journey to Peace with Scoliosis, Her Mother, and Her Polish Heritageby Linda C. Wisniewski
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Even before she was diagnosed with scoliosis at thirteen, Linda Wisniewski felt off kilter. Born to a cruel father and a long-suffering mother in the insulated Polish Catholic community of upstate New York, she learned martyrdom as a way of life. Off Kilter shows her learning to stretch her Self as well as her spine as she comes to terms with her mentally deteriorating, widowed mother and her culture. Only by accepting her physical deformity, her emotionally unavailable mother, and her Polish American heritage does she finally find balance and a life that fits. Susan Wittig Albert calls Off Kilter a splendid first memoir about the difficult business of finding balance in our lives. Funny, honest, deeply moving, Off Kilter reminds us just how hard it is to adjust to the physical pain, the emotional loss, and even the surprising beauty of being fully who we are. Synopsis:Born to a cruel father and a long-suffering mother in an insulated Polish-Catholic community, the author learns martyrdom as a way of life. "Off Kilter" shows her learning to stretch herself, as well as her spine, as she comes to terms with her mentally deteriorating, widowed mother and her culture.
