Essays on the Rhythmic Beauty of a Life in Flux

Beschreibung

Not Finished Yet: Essays on the Rhythmic Beauty of a Life in Flux is a poignant and powerful collection of memoir essays that trace the winding, unfinished path of personal growth. Using a metaphor of the jellyfish life cycle, the author reflects on what it means to live in the space between who we've been and who we're becoming. With unflinching honesty and lyrical precision, these essays explore the evolving nature of identity, self-worth, and transformation. From childhood reckonings and coming-of-age confusion to adult revisions of long-held beliefs, the author charts a journey marked by uncertainty, vulnerability, and the fierce hope that we are never fully defined by a single version of ourselves. Themes of change, resilience, and imperfection run throughout-whether in stories of navigating relationships, recovering from addiction and depression, or finding voice in the face of loss. Each essay offers a glimpse into a life in motion, a self continually shaped by experience, memory, and reflection. Not Finished Yet is not a story of arrival, but of ongoing becoming. It is a testament to the beauty of the unfinished self, and a gentle invitation to embrace the messiness of growth with compassion and courage. For anyone who has ever felt caught between chapters, this collection offers solace and solidarity in the truth that we are all-still-becoming.

Autor

Tracie Adams, a retired educator and playwright, lives on a farm in rural Virginia with her husband and two writing buddies who look a lot like dachshunds. Her debut book, Our Lives in Pieces, is a collection of essays with the universal theme of finding beauty in brokenness. Her second essay collection, Not Finished Yet, releases in 2026. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, longlisted for Wigleaf Top 50, and published online and in print editions of over a hundred literary journals. She writes to find meaning in the suffering and the joy of the human experience. Recurring topics in her writing are addiction, motherhood, adoption, grief, and family. While most of her work is not explicitly Christian in content, her faith in Jesus is the gold thread woven through every word she writes. When she is not writing or reading, she can be found birdwatching, enjoying a playlist of 80's music on her porch, or being chased by five short people who call her Glamma.
