Description
The turning points, revelations, epiphanies, dramatic changes, the opening or closing of a door-in a life, a career, a love-can occur in a single glorious, terrible, unpredictable, serendipitous, crucial, calamitous, chaotic, amazing . . . Moment. The creators of the enormously popular Not Quite What I Was Planning and Six-Word Memoir series now offer stories of the Moment-the one-time chances, unexpected coincidences, and sudden catastrophes that made all the difference in the story of one life. The results are triumphant, outrageous, heartwarming, heartbreaking, embarrassing,illuminating, and inspiring-life-changing moments from contributors Dave Eggers, Diane Ackerman, Elizabeth Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Jennifer Egan, A. J. Jacobs, Judy Collins, and many more.
