Georgia Lee's unique voice is witty and self-deprecating; perceptive and astute. Her stories, illustrated by her poignant photography, combine humor and pathos in equal measure.
MEET THE BEATLES!!! speaks to her rabid pre-teen hysteria at The Beatles' 1965 Atlanta concert that led her mother to administer a post-show sedative. Accompanying photographs include her prized framed ticket with its $5.50 cost of admission.
LICE LESSONS transforms every mother's nightmare - a child's lice infestation, during her own suicidal depression into a love story of mother-daughter togetherness, illustrated with a de-lousing photo from Atlanta's Lice Ladies emporium.
BIOLOGICAL CLOCK speaks to cultural impositions on women. Georgia Lee's brave recounting of her reproductive battles is painful, yet compelling. Under a so-called "biological clock," to have a baby, she endures horrific medical negligence and months of hospitalization that lead to the stillborn delivery of a son, followed by a bitter separation and divorce. In post-traumatic shock, as a working single parent of a four-year-old toddler, the tragedy is redeemed by a miraculous pregnancy and delivery, at 40 years old, of a beautiful, healthy daughter. An unexpected memorial, 20 years later, links a time to mourn and a time to heal. A tale of longing and loss, torment and joy, Biological Clock addresses the painful issues so many women endure, often in silence.
Through every story and image, Georgia Lee is unflinchingly honest and authentic. On My Mind is one woman's journey of joy and pain. Though all paths vary, the journey is universal.
