Off Kilter: A Woman's Journey to Peace With Scoliosis, Her Mother, and Her Polish Heritage
Pearlsong Press, 2008
For everyone who's known the emotional loss and the surprising beauty of being fully who you are...
Writing in a style reminiscent of Frank McCourt, Wisniewski conjures the ghosts of a troubled and emotionally fraught childhood throughout the majority of her memoir so that she can exorcise them in the final chapters... Expertly balancing pathos and triumph, Wisniewski never wallows in self-pity. Rather, she gathers strength from her setbacks and finds a renewed sense of purpose with every curve life sends her way. In this sense, Off Kilter is a fine testament to the resilience of the human spirit and to the healing power of the written word.
