Unveiling the Fractured Self: Nina B. Lichtenstein’s Body Tells a Story Beyond Skin Deep
Ever paused to wonder what your body would say if it could spill the beans on every ache, memory, and midlife mystery it’s been carting around? Nina B. Lichtenstein’s Body: My Life in Parts does just that—talks back to the body in a way that’s equal parts candid, quirky, and deeply revealing. Picture this: a sharp hip pain in the dead of night sparks an intimate dialogue with her own flesh and bones, stirring memories that ripple through her life’s chapters like a well-edited highlight reel. Middle age and menopause? Not just biological events but intensely personal seasons that reshape the narrative we hold about ourselves. Lichtenstein’s approach? Not fear and foreboding—but a raw, textured inventory of the body’s parts that have sculpted her identity, each with its own story and wisdom, from the belly that housed her Viking-sized sons to knees that carry childhood laughter and a father’s gentle care. It’s a memoir that doesn’t just recount life—it re-members it, stitching the fragments into a whole that feels alive and palpably real. Intrigued? You’ll find the map to traversing your own bodily tales right here, with prompts to get you started on that fascinating journey. LEARN MORE
