A “bold, luscious” memoir, “indispensable to anyone trying to forge their own truer path” (Ruth Reichl). On one side, there is Grace: prize-winning author Diana Abu-Jaber’s tough, independent sugar-fiend of a German grandmother, wielding a suitcase full of holiday cookies. On the other, Bud: a flamboyant, spice-obsessed Arab father, full of passionate argument. The two could not agree on anything: not about food, work, or especially about what Diana should do with her life. Grace warned her away from children. Bud wanted her married above all—even if he had to provide the ring. Caught between cultures and lavished with contradictory “advice” from both sides of her family, Diana spent years learning how to ignore others’ well-intentioned prescriptions. Hilarious, gorgeously written, poignant, and wise, Life Without a Recipe is Diana’s celebration of journeying without a map, of learning to ignore the script and improvise, of escaping family and making family on one’s own terms. As Diana discovers, however, building confidence in one’s own path sometimes takes a mistaken marriage or two—or in her case, three: to a longhaired boy-poet, to a dashing deconstructionist literary scholar, and finally to her steadfast, outdoors-loving Scott. It also takes a good deal of angst (was it possible to have a serious writing career and be a mother?) and, even when she knew what she wanted (the craziest thing, in one’s late forties: a baby!), the nerve to pursue it. Finally, fearlessly independent like the Grace she’s named after, Diana and Scott’s daughter Gracie will heal all the old battles with Bud and, like her writer-mom, learn to cook up a life without a recipe.
Here we have the story of a father and mother who went to Niger, West Africa with two small children in 1950, and over the next nine years had four more children - Roland was number one, Lance followed, and then there were Cheryl, John, Suzanne and Pamela. All six children were raised on the southern edge of the Sahara desert with dad and mom, Dr. Burt and Ruth Long. Galmi, Niger, West Africa was their home. One by one they left to go to our SIM missionary kids school in Jos, Nigeria, but always came home to Galmi for the holidays. Dr. Long was the founder and first doctor of the Galmi Hospital in Niger. -You will read about early struggles and later victories. The text was taken from letters sent home to family and kept by Ruth's sister, Frances, who .saved them all and returned them to us when we retired. The last few chapters deal with our return trips to West Africa in our retirement years. There were two trips to ELWA, Liberia, one trip to Chad, three trips to Nigeria and three trips back home to Galmi, Niger.
