Summary of Kelly Corrigan's The Middle Place

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I aspire to be the self-actualized person who no longer needs or even wants her birthday to be noticed. I try to not plan something for my birthday, but this year, I want to celebrate mine. I want to meet up with some friends in San Francisco for lunch.

#2 I find a lump in my breast, and I tell my husband about it. He tells me that it’s probably a cyst, and that I have no breast cancer in my family, which is good. I get a mammogram the next day, and it turns out to be a cyst.

#3 I lay my body across my bed to muffle the earsplitting sound of the alarm. I read a long article from a ten-year-old National Geographic about Hurricane Andrew in Florida. On the cover, there is a dirty, sticky, sunburned Marine holding a newly homeless toddler.

#4 I grew up on Wooded Lane, just a mile from Villanova University, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. My brothers shared a bedroom, but I had my own, a pink gingham wonderland behind a hollow door from Sears that was covered with Wacky Packages stickers.
