Unraveling Fate: The Remarkable Story of Love vs. Genetic Destiny in Tiffany Graham Charkosky’s Latest Book
It is my favorite part of this reading experience.
She shares, “I feel the most alive, like the most authentic version of myself, when I’m writing. I’m the mother I wanted, the wife and life partner I aspire to be, the person I’ve always been when I gift myself this creative time… My best life requires finding words for the feelings agitating below my skin. It needs laughter and sunshine, movement and time outside, books, music, art, and the space to try these things myself.”
With these words, Charkosky articulates all that I feel as a writer of memoir living a creative life. She also conveys the power of narrative to build empathy, foster agency, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate our own practical wisdom. Writing also creates connected community, helps others feel seen and heard, and helps us all feel a little less alone in this world. In this regard, Charkosky and her book succeed immeasurably.
