Author Writes with Candor, Shuns Familial Example in ‘Crossroads’
OXFORD, Fla. (PRWEB) January 31, 2015 -- “Crossroads: A Memoir” (published by Trafford Publishing) is Connelly’s engaging, sometimes shocking, life story that spans five decades as Connelly survives major obstacles to eventually become a successful mother, wife, businesswoman and local politician.
“Realizing I did not want to be like my family, I made sure that everything I did in life was going to be by my rules and not the rules of a family where ‘abnormal’ was the ‘norm,’” Connelly says. “These rules helped me become the person I am today.”
After surviving her troubling childhood, Connelly has more lessons to learn as a young wife and mother, ultimately surviving several failed relationships and realizing too late that true love is to be treasured and acted upon.
Praise for “Crossroads”:
“Now in her fifties, Connelly has gained some sense of empowerment through her ability to keep a journal and compose poetry. Written in a chronological, rather breezy style, probably taken from her journals, the book shows her too often rushing through events without considering consequences or caring for herself when she should have.”
