An Imperfect Life: A Memoir About Life, Love and Laughter-But Most of All, Love
An Imperfect Life is a powerful memoir that will forever change the way you think about life. Gayle Madden takes you on exhilarating journeys--bicycling and hiking through Switzerland, New Zealand, Ireland, and high into the wilderness of the Trinity Alps. Her insights reveal a life of joy and sorrow, strength and weakness, and ultimately, self-discovery.
Gayle feels her life of adventure is perfect, and when this perfect life cracks, she shares her anguish and hopelessness. Through many setbacks and triumphs, her management of the diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic cancer shows who she really is--who we all are--deep inside. This is a testimony that life is good.
This is a book of miracles.
If you read no other book this year, you must read this one.
How to Buy:
There are a few different ways to purchase her book.
On January 9th, 2015 Oregon Street Antinque Mall will have a selection of books available for purchase. They will be in a glass display by the front counter, as well as inside my booth at the top of the stairs. The owners are wonderful people and will not be taking any percentage of the sale- all proceeds will go directly to St. Jude's Hospital, which is exactly what Gayle wanted. Thank you so much, Kate and Phil!

If you are not local, unable to make it the shop or would like to buy direct- you can do that, too! You may purchase the book through Pay Pal (link coming soon) and once your order is received the book will be shipped. The book is $15.95 and shipping will cost about $4.00 (estimate, firm figure to follow).
When we sell out of current stock, we will once again be taking pre-orders.
You also have the option of buying it through Amazon, both in e-reader format and in paperback. The paperback version from Amazon does not have color pictures, which are truly something you would want to experience to get the full effect of Gayle's marvelous journey through her beautiful life.
However you choose to buy this book, you won't regret it. It will change your life.
