Showing results by narrator "Jessica Almasy" in Biographies & Memoirs

Kate Fridkis, a neurotic twenty-something writer in Brooklyn makes the seemingly crazy decision to become a mother. This is a memoir about pregnancy, and about making the huge choices that sometimes result in growing up, or at least growing.

The New Age Camp camp depicts the clumsy awkwardness and fragile self-discovery that being a teenager is all about. When Chloe, a young woman from New York State, takes a summer job working at camp for teens in Upstate New York, she has no idea what she's in for. And maybe that's a good thing. With a humor that is by turns self-deprecating and candidly critical of the world around her, Chloe describes a summer of Reiki healing, menstrual moon cycle charts, trance dances, junk food, borrowed clothes, teen girl angst, and ultimately emotional growth.
