Sometimes you have to risk baring it all.
Christine Amoroso did everything right to achieve the perfect life. Falling for a sandy-haired surfer and landing pregnant at seventeen, she knew the right thing to do. She could have it all, even if in the wrong order: beautiful children, a good marriage, and approval from those around her. Until it all fell apart.
Ever the overachiever, she continued to take on too much, finishing college with two kids in tow. But as her responsibility grew, so did her resentment. A stressed-out young mom, an inattentive husband, and the attention of another man made the perfect recipe for disaster. Hard work and responsible decisions had not guaranteed a happy life or lasting love. She had failed, and now she floundered as she tried to find a fresh start. She turned inward for answers rather than seeking external validation.
After a few missteps, she slowly learned her worth couldn't come from a list of accolades, achievements, or some guy. Her story is an earnest and humorous account of what it's like to be a modern American woman trying to have it all and the dangers of losing oneself in the process.
Bare Naked in Public is a must-read memoir for burnt-out overachievers seeking answers about their worth while finally forgiving their past.
Early readers say...
Amoroso's lush and vivid prose immerses readers into this beautiful memoir about love and betrayal, and a woman's quest for self-worth. A captivating read! -Candi Sary, author of Magdalena, and Black Crow White Lie
We've always known that Christine was an incredible writer but the raw honesty and vulnerability that she brings to her memoir is unparalleled. She gives us every flaw, every triumph, every bare naked piece of her life and we inhaled every detail. -Sarah Hartley and Mia Sutton, formerly The Kindred Voice (Holl & Lane)
Amoroso faces these ups and downs with courage and resilience, and continued optimism. This is a beautifully written memoir. -Ruth Yunker, author of Baby, I'm The Boss of Me
Well written and engaging from start to finish ... [an] enjoyable and poignant journey. I highly recommend it. ... It's full of heart. -Barbara Albright
