L.L. Kirchner shares her story as the author of Blissful Thinking, a sweeping story of the search for nirvana that took L.L. Kirchner from university halls in the Persian Gulf to the streets of Manhattan to a sex cult in India. Between her family’s gym and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner felt grounded in physical and spiritual wellness. Then her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone.
To avoid a return to her addictions the author tries yoga, meditation, chanting — all the things meant to cultivate bliss and regain trust in the universe. Each brings some relief, but her search for the answer outside herself ignores the fact that her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until she discovers the gift her mother had always
given her — hope. Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical
honesty — and a second date.
An award-winning screenwriter and author of the forthcoming Blissful Thinking, L.L. Kirchner's first memoir, American Lady Creature, was named one of Bustle's "11 Books to Battle the Blues." She's a live on-air host on the Home Shopping Network, & runs a live, monthly storytelling show, True Stories. Her writing can be found in The Washington Post, The Rumpus, and Salon among many others. She lives in Florida with her dog Hartley and her favorite husband. More at www.LLKirchner.com.
