Edgewalker (Memoir)
An intimate and honest memoir, Edgewalker is the story of three simultaneous events that transformed a woman who was desperate for change into a person who could find peace in that which she couldn’t change.
At forty-nine, Pamm Smith thought the lucky life she lived had vanished. In the wake of her mother’s diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she learned that she too had a tumor, just as her marriage of a decade upended. In the year that ensued, she watched her mother navigate the end of life, became engulfed in the confusing medical system, and let go of her conflicted relationship with her husband. Although not the changes she had hoped for, the collusion of events lead her to consider the most important questions of her life: How to balance fear of the unknown with faith that everything is exactly as it’s meant to be; and when to try harder and when to let go.
Told with candor and truth, Edgewalker vividly captures the tears and joys of one woman forging ahead on a journey that angered, strengthened, and ultimately healed her. It is a story of finding clarity in a new normal. It is a story of discovering a new “happy place.”
