(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Without A Map: A Memoir
by
Hall, Meredith
swalsh
, April 11, 2011
Without A Map by Meredith Hall. In this memoir, Hall recounts being shunned and abandoned by everyone who should have been there for her (family, church, friends) when she became pregnant at 16. She gave the child up for adoption, drifted, married, had another child, & then found her first son & his adopted family. The last third of the book, after she reconnects with her first son, has some of the most stunning writing ever. At 40, she was accepted at Bowdoin College, & subsequently won a $50,000 Gift of Freedom Award that allowed her to work on this memoir. Sensitive and honest writing about an amazing life journey.
