Here's to not Catching our Hair on Fire
“Here’s to Not Catching Our Hair on Fire: An Absent-Minded Tale of Life with Giftedness and Attention Deficit—Oh Look! A Chicken!” (ISBN 0983827508), a memoir by Stacey Turis, tells the story of the author’s struggle with ADHD and giftedness, including her journey from self-loathing to self-acceptance.
Turis’ uniquely absent-minded brain has gotten her into trouble over the years. There was the time she was arrested in front of her kids and neighbors for the speeding ticket she forgot to pay, or the time her boss suggested that she give Bob Dole a lap dance, which led to all kinds of trouble. Including both the tragic details of a horrifically abusive time in her childhood to comic adventures such as deciding to dye her hair plum the day before an important presentation to a bank only to have it turn out purple, her life has never suffered from a dull moment. Turis shares these anecdotes and more in a heartfelt and humorous memoir that reveals what it is like to live with such a unique perspective and offers insight to help others learn to approach life with less struggle and more sass.
“There are so many people in the world like myself leading unnecessarily unbearable lives,” says Turis. “I have a deep need to share what I’ve learned, to encourage others to seek happiness and have more fun.”
Mixing belly laugh-inducing personal stories with observations on emotional well-being and strategies for improving life experience, the memoir was written to inspire, educate and most of all entertain.
“Here’s to Not Catching Our Hair on Fire: An Absent-Minded Tale of Life with Giftedness and Attention Deficit—Oh Look! A Chicken!” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
