The Way Around: Finding My Mother and Myself Among the Yanomami
Finding My Mother and Myself Among the Yanomami
Description
From the wilds of the Amazonian jungle to the paved confines of suburban New Jersey and back, The Way Around is David Good's amazing chronicle of self-discovery. It is also the story of his parents, as he relives his American anthropologist father's journey encountering the world of his mother, a Yanomami from a distant part of the Amazon, and his mother's painful struggle to adapt to a Western lifestyle. In this powerful memoir, David illuminates the pain of his mother's abandonment when he was only six, and the toll it took on his childhood; the rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking; and the near-fatal car accident that gave him purpose: to find a way back to his mother.A tale of recovery and discovery combining adventure, history, and science, The Way Around is a fascinating exploration of what family really means, and the way that the strongest bonds endure across decades and worlds.jointhegoodproject.com
