About the Book

The well-reviewed autobiographical novel "Swimming Naked with Jellyfish" won the international 2009 Eric Hoffer Awards-Montaigne Medal Finalist Award for Thought Provoking Books and for Excellence in Independent Publishing. IRIS ANDREA confronts her grief over multiple loss of family by writing her memoir. In her struggle to know herself and her self-worth, she flashes back to growing up in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn in the 1960s. She digs up intense childhood anger for her beloved tyrant father, passive mother, jealous sister but she also finds love. Iris powerfully narrates her encounters with her violent father and rebellion against the trapped submissive females of her family by escaping with the freedom-loving males. She discloses an insecure, sensual adolescence throbbing in the birth of Rock and Roll, her firsts, her taste in men, shame and attempted suicide, failed marriage, great passion and tragedy. Iris realizes she's always searching to fill the holes in her whole.
