Summary of Minnie Driver's Managing Expectations

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

#1 In the UK, in 1976, women were finally allowed to apply for a mortgage without a male co-signer. My mother decided to leave my father and get married, but she was required to have a house and her children in school by the time she had relocated.

#2 I was six when we moved to England. I was excited to live in a house with a garden, but I was also afraid of the disconnect from nature. I would fight my way through the high grass and find a chicken-wired fruit cage full of wildly growing raspberries, blackberries, red currants, and black currants.

#3 I was the helpful herald, pointing out the cracks in the new dynamic. I did not want to turn my brain into scrambled eggs and make sense of something that was actually beautiful.

#4 I learned that running away is an adrenal choice, and your escape is determined by how calm you can remain while your little synapses are firing madly. I always headed to the woods, and the only hazard between me getting there or not was the neighbor into whose garden I jumped.
