Enough

In a clear, welcoming voice, Shauna Ahern narrates her candid memoir in which she describes how she found her own version of "enough." Ahern was pushed to achieve by her parents, while her mother's abuse and fears kept her isolated. As an adult with celiac disease, Ahern founded the blog "Gluten-Free Girl," through which she and her husband shared slices of their life, along with recipes. The pair wrote cookbooks, founded a business, and raised two children, but the constant striving and pretending grew to be too much for Ahern. After suffering a mini-stroke, she recognized that she needed to identify the parts of her life in which she did not feel "good enough" and let go of them. Listeners who know Ahern through her blog will especially welcome hearing her warm narration of her deeply personal essays. E.E.C. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
