What Do I Love About Being in My Eighties? EVERYTHING!
But the answer comes from a long and sometimes painful journey.
This memoir follows a shy, frightened little girl who grows through trauma, mental abuse, deep loss, and life-changing lessons into a woman filled with faith, courage, and joy. From early childhood, Carole A. Bruno senses two things clearly: God loves her, and she is never meant to remain where she began. Her life becomes a journey toward one essential purpose - learning to love unconditionally.
Carole believes we choose our lessons before entering this life. The path is not always gentle. Read as she faces the devastating loss of her youngest grandson and, less than two years later, her youngest child. After writing openly about depression, addiction, and suicide in her first two books, Carole becomes a strong voice against the shame and stigma surrounding mental illness, calling it what it is: a disease.
Now in her eighties, she reflects on a lifetime of living, learning, and letting go of ego. With faith as her anchor and love as her guide, she has discovered that joy is possible even after the harshest lessons.
In What Do I Love About Being in My Eighties? EVERYTHING! Carole invites you to walk beside her and discover how a life shaped by faith and resilience can lead to gratitude at every age.
