Norton & Company; April 18, 2016) is a big-hearted story about finding your way when everyone else has their own prescriptions, their own “recipes,” for what your life should be like. In her new memoir about family, food, and motherhood, Abu-Jaber describes what it was like growing up with outspoken relatives who lovingly  pestered her with “advice” and how she spent years learning to ignore the script and instead improvise to find her true self and the life she desired. Life Without a Recipe tells a universal story about forging one’s own path while remaining deeply connected to the friends and family members who may have driven you a little crazy along the way. 00:47:00Ask the AuthorsnoMemoir writing,Life story writing,Diana Abu-Jaber,Women writers,Food MemoirsAward winning author, Diana Abu-Jaber talks organization and writing through the dark placeshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/writemylifememoirs/2016/04/30/conversation-with-cecilia-fernandez-author-of-leaving-little-havanaWritinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/writemylifememoirs/2016/04/30/conversation-with-cecilia-fernandez-author-of-leaving-little-havana/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/writemylifememoirs/2016/04/30/conversation-with-cecilia-fernandez-author-of-leaving-little-havanaSat, 30 Apr 2016 16:00:00 GMTConversation with Cecilia Fernandez, author of Leaving Little HavanaCecila Fernandez, author of Leaving Little Havana speaks candidly about her writing process and her decisions to include culture, language, politics, religion and music as a backdrop to her personal narrative. Leaving Little Havana is a powerful life-story that begins with 6 year old Cecilia and her family fleeing their comfortable middle-class home in Cuba as exiles and landing in the low-income neighborhood of Miami's Little Havana. In the States, her father maintained romantic relationships outside of his marriage, neglected his family and focused on rebuilding his medical career. Her mother spiraled into mental illness while trying to hold onto her husband and family. Cecilia rebelled against both parents and embraced the counter-culture of the '60s while trying to find herself and a way out of Little Havana. 00:49:00Ask the AuthorsnoCeciliaFernandez,LeavingLittleHavana,Memoir,WritingChoices,LifeStoryWritingCecilia talks to me about her writing choices to include politics, culture, language, and music as a backdrop to her personal narrative
