Tripping Over Herself A Memoir

Tanya Jones spent her life calculating the answer. Abandoned at an early age, marked by trauma, and wired to run, she learned early that the price of staying anywhere-in any relationship, any place, any version of herself-was too high. So she ran: to better jobs, better countries, better partners. But running has a cost too. In this gripping, darkly funny memoir, Tanya traces the arc from abandonment to self-sabotage to the literal crash that finally stopped her in her tracks. She writes unflinchingly about the shame of loving dangerous men, the terror of loving safe ones, and the peculiar loneliness of seeming like you have everything figured out while falling apart behind closed doors. But Tripping Over Herself isn't about what broke. It's about what happens when you finally stand still long enough to look at your own pieces-and discover that brokenness and healing can exist at the same time. A stunning meditation on belonging, recovery, and the exhausting work of coming home to yourself.
