bookworm5.gifTrisha Meili, who has written of her 1989 attack in Central Park focusing particularly on her journey of recovery in her own memoir, offers a book suggestion this week.

Here’s “a powerful book I’ve read,” she wrote to me in an e-mail:

0671023373.jpgViktor E. Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning.”  She said “it is a timeless story of his time in a concentration camp that reminds us that we can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose how we will respond.”

Meili’s her own book, published in 2003 by Simon & Schuster, is a powerful tale, as well: “I Am the Central Park Jogger: A Story of Hope and Possibility” which is a New York Times Bestseller. She also has a Web site. Read about her and an inspirational healing workshop she and a psychoanalyst are holding tomorrow in Rye in a previous posting and story that appeared Wednesday in The Journal News and online at LoHud.com

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
