Compare Surrendering Oz by Bonnie Friedman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Surrendering Oz is a memoir in essays that charts the emotional awakening of a bookish Bronx girl. From her early job as a proofreader at The Guinness Book of World Records through a series of dominating and liberating friendships and secret connections, the author takes charge of her life as a Texas professor, writer, and wise student of her own soul. Reader's Digest says reading Surrendering Oz 'is like having a conversation with a bracingly honest but fundamentally kind friend. In 15 pitch-perfect essays, she chronicles her hard-earned rejection of the cultural fairytales of womanhood as she comes fully into possession of her life.' | Surrendering Oz by Bonnie Friedman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
