Fly like an Eagle – fall like a Stone. A memoir by Michael Brown.
Winner of the inaugural Motueka Writing Festival short story competition.
Our lives may appear spectacular – until we can’t cope.
Here’s a prediction: everyone will relate to the challenges in this memoir.
You will laugh out loud, then wince with frustration as I blunder my way through life.
Success beyond my dreams – followed by gut-wrenching failures. Fear of failure. Never good enough. Pretending to cope. Shame, loneliness.
In my day, real men didn’t talk about their “off days”. They toughed it out – to the point of emotional exhaustion.
A brutally honest, funny, and deeply human story that may help you understand your own life a little better.
