The Journal Keeper is the openhearted and unflinchingly honest
memoir of six years in writer Phyllis Theroux's life. As she ages
into her sixties, Theroux uses regular journal entries to reflect
on the void left by the passing of her remarkable mother and the
thrill of allowing a new source of joy into her life. A natural
storyteller, Theroux slips her arm companionably into yours, like
an old friend going for a stroll. But Theroux's stride is long and
her eye sharp, and she swings easily between subjects that occupy
us all: love, loneliness, growing old, financial worries, spiritual
growth, and caring for an aging parent.
A compelling tale in journal form, The Journal Keeper is a rich
feast from the writing life -- with an unexpected twist. After the
death of her mother leaves Theroux feeling adrift, she finds the
love that she believed was closed to a woman of her age.
Not until Theroux sat down to edit her journals for publication did
she realize, in her words, that a hand much larger and more knowing
than my own was guiding my life and pen across the page. She makes
a good case for this being true for us all.
