I’m inviting you in on the journey with me and I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
Chasing a Feeling is a riveting, funny and insightful memoir about how a young woman’s rare brain tumor forces her to confront her shameful, secret identity of being the only living daughter.
Sarah Wallock spends her days trying to ignore the fact that she’s the not-dead daughter through her athletic outdoor pursuits and travels across six continents and 19 countries.
Follow Wallock over the years, as her playful spirit, inquisitive nature and athleticism draw her to competitive dance, outdoor sports and international adventure travel. She invites you in as she travels the world, falls in love and discovers who she is. Many perplexing realizations arise about how her strength, both physical and mental, and her femaleness, go hand-in-hand.
Up until she woke up from brain surgery, she had told herself she was relatively normal. But her 25th summer she couldn’t avoid her secret identity any longer when she gets her first seizure—the very medical condition that killed both of her sisters. Then it was her fight for survival that caused her to finally acknowledge a difficult truth: that her upbringing and the trajectory of her life had been far from it. Join her as she unearths the beauty in abnormal.
Seeped in authenticity and light-hearted humor, Chasing a Feeling shares a rich and captivating story of resilience in the face of life’s greatest unknown. Buckle up for a thrilling ride, full of philosophical and punchy quips.
