Birth of a New J: A Cathartic Memoir - Winner of the 2015 International Latino Book Awards. The head and heart are the most demanding organs. Rid yourself of toxins. Learn to breathe. Julie's story begins at her own birth, buttocks first-was she trying to make a U-turn back into the womb to learn those "three life lessons"?
Author Julie Guardado takes you into a 6 year period of costly mistakes, toxic relationships and the devastating realities of life in, Birth Of a New J: A Cathartic Memoir. But basic human science lessons provide a way for her to make some sense of her experiences. From the inability to "wow" a man, and lending another man money, to artificial insemination, her story is told with raw emotion, painfully honest portrayals that show her in a less-than-flattering light, and humor, despite the chaos.
An engaging memoir with an innovative approach, Birth Of a New J will take you on a roller coaster, then uplift you with its story of birth and rebirth.
About the Author: Julie Guardado gained a BA in music management from the University of the Pacific and worked for eleven years in the music publishing industry, primarily as an international copyright manager for Warner/Chappell Music. Shifting gears, she then gained a BS in nursing from Samuel Merritt College, and she recently earned an AA in French. Currently a nurse in the Sacramento area, she participated in a medical mission to the West African country Senegal, and plans to embark on more missions, both domestic and international.
Guardado and a friend recently launched a website called Go Indent. The idea is to simply write and encourage others to write, as well. Always engaged in learning and exploring, one of her new interests is learning about the stars and deep space. She is also educating herself about the Galapagos Islands, where she hopes to work as a volunteer. And one day soon, she wants to learn the intricacies of playing chess.
