Life in Yellow - Irons, Liz

. .

Résumé :
Yellow hospital socks on my mom's feet, Yellow buildings surrounding me in Milan, Yellow backpack slung across my back, Yellow roses from my first love, Yellow . . . Who knew that one color could be the invisible string that ties your whole life together? In this dazzling memoir, Liz Irons brings to life the multitude of emotions she went through when faced with the hardships of her mother's colon cancer diagnosis and the death of her distant father. She takes us across the ocean to Italy where she develops life-long friends, finds her true self and, at times, feels utterly alone. We are with Irons in the emptiness that only follows losing your first love and the amazing strength that can be found in the women that surround her. Life in Yellow is about sharing Irons' inner growth and self-reflection in the hopes that it will illuminate the simple joys that each and every one of us has throughout our daily lives. She helps us capture that feeling of freedom that, for her, was found whizzing across Milan on the back of a motorbike at midnight. Irons' book might even help you find your own color yellow....
