I Thought I Grew Up is a story of coming of age again. As author Michelle Churchill approached her fiftieth birthday, she found herself careening into menopause. Suddenly, she could think of nothing but men-about their legs, the hair on their bodies, how their hands would feel holding hers. She had an ever-present desire to have male contact in any way she could.
So, how does a single woman living in New York City accomplish that male closeness? Michelle turned to her computer, the only thing she had a true relationship with over the last 10 years. Signing up for every on-line dating service she could find and attempting to date the entire Eastern Seaboard, Michelle tells her story through a series of dates.
Penned with a sense of humor, I Thought I Grew Up will keep you laughing through the tears. While discovering that sex was the best cure for hot flashes, she also uncovers secrets she had hidden from herself. Her dating life has taught her to live life with integrity and to better understand what love really is.
"Told in a deliciously irreverent, breezy and self-deprecating voice, Michelle Churchill's reflections on life, menopause and the search for Mr. Right is brazenly frank, laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly moving."
-Arthur Wooten, Author of the novels On Picking Fruit and Fruit Cocktail

I Thought I Grew Up
I was expecting to like this book much better than I did. A woman's memoir told through the voice of her wardrobe from her 1950's Midwestern childhood as the oldest of five children to her discovery of Marimekko while at Harvard in the 1960's to her stints in London, New York, and beyond as a writer and dancer in the 1970's, this book started off promising--sort of the literary embodiment of looking at old photographs of aunts and mothers and grandmothers and wondering just what stories were behind their mid-century get-ups. It starts to meander, though, and it became too esoteric for me in trying to discern the voice of the wardrobe vs. the voice of the actual author. It was an interesting and whimsical experiment, to recount one's life through the voice of one's wardrobe, but I think it would have been better suited as a magazine article rather than a full book.
