    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The Moores were a typical family with two kids and no money. They switched to a Baptist church after their old community shunned Christy because she got pregnant out of high school. They eventually bought a Japanese restaurant in a strip mall in Georgia.

    #2 Christy used to take her daughter to the public library for toddler time. One day, she grabbed a book, Wuthering Heights, and started reading. She ended up getting a degree four years later.

    #3 The author, who is now a counselor for nontraditional students, believes that if she had done it in the expected order, she wouldn't have the husband, children, or life she has now. She believes that the upside-down way she lived her life is the greatest testament to the value of finding your own life course.

    #4 The three shapes of life are circular, ascending, and descending. The easiest way to understand the change in expectations is to look back at previous cultures and how they understood these shapes and shoulds.
