Kari O'Driscoll is a writer and mother of two living in the Pacific Northwest. She is the founder of The SELF Project, an organization whose goal is to help teenagers, teachers, and caregivers of teens use mindfulness and nonviolent communication to build better relationships.
"O'Driscoll rearranges the traumas of her childhood to skillfully
examine her own roles as mother, thinker, partner, and artist. This
book has grit, integrity, and a heroine with the drive to stop
being the woman who fixes it all, fixes other, fixes the past to
live in her body and her words with resolve and dignity. In Truth
Has a Different Shape, O'Driscoll emerges with an extra layer of
skin and a narrative that honors all survivors, whether codependent
or alienated from family and society."--Sophia Shalmiyev, author of
"Mother Winter: A Memoir"
"This memoir unwinds one woman's reckoning with her family. In the
opening pages, a young Kari O'Driscoll attempts to make things
easier for her family after a divorce and the loss of a sibling --
an adopted brother who is sent back to the agency -- tear her
household apart. The pain of a child dealing with loss is palpable.
Yet, as years progress in Truth Has a Different Shape, we follow
O'Driscoll as she discovers how to heal herself."-- "Buzzfeed"
