Böcker av D. Scott

After attempting to fit into the mold of his seemingly normal yet highly dysfunctional family, a young man carves out a meaningful life of his own.Emerging from childhood with emotional scars is a rite of passage. But for those with deep scars from dysfunctional families, righting the ship isn't always that easy. From the outside, D. Scott's family appeared to be a model one, but behind closed doors, there was chaos and dysfunction. With the help of therapy and a robust sense of humor, D. Scott emerged triumphant. But the road to acceptance and happiness was not without difficulty. In A Square Peg, D. Scott reflects on his upbringing and family life, chronicling every hurdle and adventure along the way. Following D. Scott from birth to twenty-four, the book is set in the 50's, 60's, and 70's and reveals an empowering narrative on personal growth. While this poignant memoir depicts the struggles of just one family, it defines the experience of a generation. Baby boomers will laugh and cry as they relate to his experience, while younger generations are offered an intimate portrait of a bygone era.
