First Generation Normal

by Diane M. Ross

First Generation Normal is a story of growing up free range with eccentric parents and learning how to navigate a variety of unusual situations and characters. "We had the freedom to live in our natural environment without eyes glaring down upon us, dictating our every move. We learned to be independent because, by and large, people did not do things for us," so writes the author about her upbringing.
First Generation Normal is a comedic journey of overcoming obstacles and finding inner peace in order to create new opportunities for reconciliation and happiness.

[Cynthia Crisafulli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Diane Ross’s debut book is a series of vignettes about the twists and turns of her untraditional childhood, and how that foundation led to untraditional life choices in adulthood - from working at a school for children with emotional disorders to volunteering for a Peace Corps post in Africa following a divorce at 27. The book itself is a true hero’s journey, encompassing internal and external exploration of self, relationships, humanity, and the world at large. Ross is a natural-born story-teller, and this book is funny and honest and brave. It documents Ross’s quest to make sense of herself, her history, the people she meets along the way, and the world around her. A must-read.
