This Is Not The Story You Think It Is: A Season of Unlikely Happiness Top Quality

Life is full of unexpected curve balls as part of the game that everyone has no choice but to play to in order to make it to home base. And that is the case in Writer Laura Munson's memoir This is Not the Story you Think it Is: A Season of Unlikely Happiness where she has to confront a personal crisis in her marriage and reevaluate the situation, which takes her back to her past from familial relationships to career decisions that may have played a role to what had arose between she and her husband. And any period of change, Munson and her family would leave the familiar faces and places of Seattle, Washington and transition to the natural setting of Montana where she would shed the past to be her true self.

The most insightful and highlight of the book is how Munson takes a situation that appears to be debilitating and lightens all that is around her and adds humor throughout her narrative. And one of the interesting methods that she uses is paralleling her life to popular and cultural references, especially one that appears to be the subtle catalyst to her experience, literary and philosophical inferences to Bohemian-Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke and Persian poet Rumi; an underlying deeper meaning that provided answers to her unrelenting questions of why this was happening to her during this time of her life when things appeared to be routine but actually jilted. And amidst Munson's path to find resolution to her somewhat uncompromising issues, she also draws comparisons to Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz and old television icon Donna Reed, and closer to home, Agatha Christie, at an attempt to sort out and come to terms with what was happening to her.

This Is Not The Story You Think It Is Munson's experiences from an introspective and perceptive point of view that shares with readers that there is room for happy endings but not without having to revisit what has already been laid out to reach that conclusion or interval in one's life. Indeed, the quirkiness and subtleties of the story are enticing within every page that shows the process that Munson took to keep things aligned with her relationship with herself and most importantly with her family and husband.
