La novia grulla

Ten days after calling off their wedding, CJ Hauser went on an expedition to Texas to study the whooping crane. After a week wading through the gulf, they realized they'd almost signed up to live someone else's life. What if you released yourself from traditional narratives of happiness? What if you looked for...ways to leave room for the unexpected? In Hauser...s case, this meant dissecting pop culture touchstone, from The Philadelphia Story to The X Files, to learn how not to lose yourself in a relationship. They attended a robot convention, contemplated grief at John Belushi...s gravesite, and officiated a wedding. Most importantly, they mapped the difference between the stories we...re asked to hold versus those we choose to carry. Told with the late-night barstool directness of your wisest, most bighearted friend,...The Crane Wife is a book for everyone whose path doesn't look the way they thought it would; for everyone learning to find joy in the not-knowing and to build a new sort of life story, a new sort of family, a new sort of h me to live in.
