At sixteen, this idyllic life is interrupted when she must face her father’s sudden illness. Tanya, her mother, and two brothers find themselves cramped in a tiny cabin in a tiny town in northern Wisconsin in the dead of winter. There they wait for her father to die of cancer. Separated from friends and civilization, Tanya has only her fears and uncertainty for company.<br /><p> </p><p>At the age of twenty, Tanya loses a man who was not only her father but a surrogate father to thousands. Richard Chernov was a man who shared himself, humor and all, with just about everyone who would let him. And with this same unflagging commitment and passion, Tanya shares her struggles and the blessings she finds in them. Her memoir is a complex amalgam of human strength and fragility, which creates an inimitable coming-of-age story. This is a story of family and pain, of survival and growing up, and ultimately of love. For anyone who has ever experienced loss, <em>A Real Emotional Girl</em> offers a glimpse, provocative in its raw honesty, into the nature of grief and the positive transformation that can follow.</p> 02 One girl’s true story of witnessing death and lifting its long black robes to peer at what lies beneath... 08 “A contemplative, profoundly moving meditation on life, love and death.” Kirkus Star Review 08 “In this engaging debut work (despite its awkward title), Chernov re-creates the emotional devastation wrought by her father's death, followed by a gradual realization of what was most valuable in their relationship.” Publishers Weekly 04 03 72 01 http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/resources/titles/60239100427980/images/60239100427980L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/resources/titles/60239100427980/images/60239100427980S.jpg http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/book/?GCOI=60239100427980 Skyhorse Publishing 01 Skyhorse Publishing 04 20120901 02 AG AI AN AR AS AU AW BB BM BO BR BS BZ CL CN CO CR CU DM DO EC FK GD GF GP GT GU GY HK HN HT ID JM JP KH KN TF KY LA LC MM MP MQ MS MX MY NI NZ PA PE PH PR PY SG SR SV TC TH TT TW US UY VC VE VG VI VN 03 ROW 01 0.9283446 in 02 0.6288786 in 03 0.1197864 in National Book Company, Inc. http://www.wwnorton.com 02 WORLD AD AE AF AG AI AL AM AO CC AT AU AW AZ BA BB BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ BN BT RS BW BY CA CX AQ CF CG CH CI CK CM CU CV GS CY CZ DE DJ DK DM DZ EE EG EH ER ES ES ET FI FJ FK FM FO FR GA GB GB GB GD GE GF GH GI GL GM GN GQ GR IO GW GY KP HR HT HU IE IL IN MO IQ IR IS IT JM JO KE KG KI KM KN KW KY KZ LB LC LI LK LR LS LT LU LV LY MA MC MD MG MH UM ML MM MN YT MQ MR MS MT MU MV MW MZ NA NC NE NF NG NL NL NO NP NR NU OM PA PF PF PG PG PK PL PM PN PT PW QA RE RO RU RU RW SA SB SC SD SE SH SI SJ SK SL SM SN SO SR ST SY SZ TC TD BL TG TJ TK TM TN TO TR TT TV TZ UA UG UZ VA VC VG VU WF WS YE IM ZA ZM ZW ZW 02 Y 21 24 01 28.95 CAD 07 6300065 National Book Company, Inc. http://www.wwnorton.com 02 WORLD 02 Y 20 20120901 24 01 02 LONG 02 24.95 USD
