Lessons from a Late Bloomer by Jackie Ewing

Lessons from a Late Bloomer: Vignettes of a Small-Town Girl by Jackie Ewing is a wholly engrossing collection of autobiographical stories ranging from the sweet and melancholic to the lighthearted and downright comical. Adventurous and everchanging, Jackie has worked many jobs, married twice, lived in several countries, and now has collected her most significant memories around ten life lessons, providing something of a self-help text among the entertaining anecdotes. Although the book could do with a little trimming for repetition, Ewing’s memoir is a relatable read for her willingness to lay herself bare, mixed with an inspiring passion for the world and hard-earned wisdom.
