Reviews"If the great poet Federico Garcia Lorca had heard Jean Feraca on the radio, he might have said her voice had duende, a dark mysterious bravura power. Now Jean Feraca infuses her brave magic into a series of remarkable, unpredictable-and wickedly funny-essays about life, loss, family, marriage, and the radio. Always intense, always startlingly perceptive . . . Feraca explores the essential attachments of a life with a passionate courage that tears off defenses and leaves the woman as she is: the naked teller of tales desperately true."-Molly Peacock, author of Cornucopia, "If the great poet Federico García Lorca had heard Jean Feraca on the radio, he might have said her voice had duende , a dark mysterious bravura power.

SynopsisJean Feraca's road to self-fulfillment has been as quirky and demanding as the characters in her incredible memoir. A veteran of several decades of public radio broadcasting, Feraca is also a writer and a poet. She is a talk show host beloved for her unique mixture of the humanities, poetry, and journalism, and is the creator of the pioneering international cultural affairs radio program Here on Earth: Radio without Borders . In this searing memoir, Feraca traces her own emergence. She pulls back the curtain on her private life, revealing unforgettable portraits of the characters in her brawling Italian-American family: Jenny, the grandmother, the devil woman who threw Casey Stengel down an excavation pit; Dolly, the mother, a cross between Long John Silver and the Wife of Bath, who in battling mental illness becomes the scourge of a Lutheran nursing home; and Stephen, the brilliant but troubled older brother, an anthropologist adopted by a Sioux tribe. In a new chapter that reinforces and ties together the book's exploration of the multiple forms of love, Jean introduces us to Roger, a Wildman and her husband's best friend with whom she, too, develops an extraordinary intimacy. A selection of fifteen of Feraca's poems add counterpoint to her engaging prose., Jean Feraca s road to self-fulfillment has been as quirky and demanding as the characters in her incredible memoir.
