Rainbow Road: The Journey of a Narcissist’s Daughter
COMING SOON
Rainbow Road tells the story of the author’s decades long journey of coming to terms with her mother’s undiagnosed malignant narcissism.
Haunted by the effects of her mother’s cruelty, and determined not to pass that legacy onto her own children, Wenner employs all the tools learned from a career in journalism to uncover the roots of her mothers psychology.
As she delves deeply into her family history, she discovers a tale of betrayal, greed, and the destruction of love. With this newfound knowledge, Wenner gains a resilient empathy, both for her mother and for herself.
Shamba Letu: An American Girl's Adventure in a Communal Village in Tanzania.
At age 18, Kate Wenner left college to volunteer in a tiny communal village deep in the countryside in Tanzania. Her memoir of that life-changing year describes the work she did in the village, the deep friendships she formed there, what she learned about the struggles of a young country emerging from centuries of colonialism, and what she came to understand about her own emerging identity as a woman deeply concerned with social justice.
