A family built, a family lost. Truth Has a Different Shape is a
story of the power of compassion, of love and loss, revelations and
relationship, and the evolution of self. Growing up in the 1970s
and 1980s, Kari O'Driscoll was taught that strength and stoicism
were one and the same. She was also taught that a girl's job was to
take care of everyone else. For decades, she believed these ideas,
doing everything she could to try and keep the remaining parts of
her family together, systematically anticipating disaster and
fixing catastrophes one by one. Truth Has a Different Shape is one
woman's meditation on how societal and familial expectations of
mothering influenced her sense of self and purpose, as well as her
ideas about caretaking. As an adult, finding herself a caretaker
both to her own children and to her aging parents, O'Driscoll
finally reckons with the childhood trauma that shaped her world.
Adoption, loss, and divorce defined her approach to motherhood, but
in Truth Has a Different Shape, O'Driscoll finally pushes back.
This memoir tracks her progress as she discovers how to truly care
for those she loves without putting herself at risk, using
mindfulness and compassion as tools for healing both herself and
her difficult relationships.
