What haunted you at 17?
To help promote her new book, Nova Ren Suma asked some author friends to answer this question: What haunted you at 17? We'll be posting our responses this week with links to Nova's blog and how to purchase her new book: 17 AND GONE. You can get all the links HERE throughout the week. I can't wait to read the responses! (I'll be posting mine here on March 20.)
I really struggled with my own, as most of the things that haunted me at that age were NOT things I wanted to share publicly. But the exercise was powerful. It made me remember 17-me in a way I hadn't before. From the distance and safety of 42-me, who survived. I was finally able to look back at a time I largely wanted to forget with more sympathy and understanding and kindness. A different perspective. A bigger heart. It was unexpectedly healing. I think you should try it. <3
