In Pursuit of Radio Mom

In Pursuit of Radio Mom brings the reader tight to Terry Crylen's side as it traces her path from frequent and debilitating anxiety, loneliness, and shame-and a dysfunctional marriage that mirrors the dynamics of her relationship with her mother-to the discovery of her authentic self and the happiness and fulfillment such a transformation brings. Radio Mom also illuminates the ways in which one generation impacts the next-both wittingly and unwittingly-when later, while pressing along the difficult route of raising her own daughter, the author is challenged to confront, yet again, the legacy of her past. A book that also makes transparent the process of psychotherapy, In Pursuit of Radio Mom's message is this: the excavation of pain clears space within the mind and heart-affording the growth of new insight, overturning fear, and making acceptance and forgiveness possible.
