How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly is the transcendent story of a young woman who, in a twenty-four hour period, journeys through startling moments of self-discovery that lead her to a courageous and life-altering decision. Set amidst the lush pine forests and rich savannahs of Florida's Northern Panhandle, HO W CLARISSA BURDEN LEARNED TO FLY tells the story of one woman whose life until now has been fairly normal.
She is 30-something, married, and goes about her daily routine. But as readers will soon discover, Clarissa's life has been burdened by ghosts and an indifferent husband-and like a butterfly in a chrysalis, she is poised on the precipice of great change. Today, for the first time in her predictable existence, she has awakened to the realization that she has had enough! Clarissa Burden is mad as hell and she's not going to take it any longer.
Suddenly, wanting nothing more than to spread her wings and set her heart free, Clarissa will have to find a way to do the unthinkable. This is a remarkable novel about an unexpected mid-life awakening, a story that women will share and discuss in book clubs for years to come.
