Evolution of a Baby Boomer

Life Beyond Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll

De: Joyce Fidler

Narrado por: Joyce Fidler

Countless people begin adulthood focused on the pursuit of self-centered pleasure seeking, fun and oblivion. Plenty of folks end their lives the same way after sometimes wreaking havoc in the lives of people who love them along the path to their self-destruction.

In Evolution of a Baby Boomer Joyce Fidler takes us on her journey as a record store owner and rock band singer who begins her adult years in the Bible belt where sex, drugs and rock & roll dominate her life. As she relocates to LaLaLand in her forties, she invites listeners to witness her unexpected transformation to a fruitful, productive citizen. Fidler's memoir traces the how and why of this metamorphosis including a divorce from a polyamorous marriage, separation from her teenaged children, with an eventual surrender to recovery from marijuana and alcohol addiction.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Joyce Fidler's life is one of many twists and turns and highs and lows. Sometimes she'll shock you; other times she'll bring you to tears. If you have an alcohol or drug addiction problem, her book will uplift you and encourage you to make important changes in your life. It's not a preachy book; instead, it's very honest and forthright." Terry Hassman-Paulin, Editor at Silver Burdett Ginn (ret.)

"A memoir of a frenzied woman" Frank Dungan, TV Producer/Emmy Winning Writer

"Joyce Fidler tells a mind-blowing story. Being a musician myself who tripped through that era I knew from the first that this was real, but Fidler's unique POV made it a brand-new experience. I didn't think that I could be shocked, but particular parts of her story left me wide-eyed. The spiritual message left me teary-eyed." Gene Herd, Executive Director of the Hollywood Radio and Television Society (ret.)

Inspiring and funny!

Loved hearing this true life tale filled with great stories within the story, awesome punk/ska music, a journey into some darkness but such a hopeful and inspiring turn around thanks to the author finding her way to recovery. Great listen!

Transformative - loved all the treasures, trials and tribulations that the author describes!

The author tells a heartfelt journey of her life adventures. I could really relate to the Indianapolis to LA move as I too made the move in the late 80’s. Her narration is so eloquent and her music captured the emotion of the moment perfectly. I highly recommend the audiobook version so you get the benefit of the music and passion conveyed in the story. I can’t wait to listen to it again to be sure I hear all of the lessons about her recovery!
