SHADOW AND STRUCTURES
\nCharlene Young OT<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Charlene finally has the life she fought for: a stable home, three children she adores, and a thriving career as an occupational therapist. Then a devastating diagnosis for her youngest son and the slow collapse of her marriage begin to pull it all apart. Betrayal, divorce, caregiving and financial ruin push her back into a fight she thought she had left behind in childhood.<\/p>

Moving from the classrooms of pediatric care to the borderlands of South Texas and on to an unexpected love abroad, Charlene, as detailed in Blueprints of a Life – Shadows and Structures, is an honest and deeply hopeful memoir. It is the story of a woman who rebuilds herself again and again, one broken piece at a time, until she finally sees the design her life was following all along.<\/p>

What can you build from the pieces of a life that keeps falling apart?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
