Tumbleweed Life: a condition of unease, disconnectedness, and isolation common to thousands, young and old alike. Common cause: A childhood marked by instability--frequent moves, family hardships, divorce. Symptoms: wandering aimlessly in relationships, feeling one's work is meaningless, shuffling from community to community in search of something permanent. Following the narratives of his own story, Eddie Hiburn encourages fellow tumbleweeds to endure the windstorms of life by: discovering their heritage; developing disciplines; planting a family; finding a community. No matter how often you've been uprooted in the past there's still time to set down roots in the present, for the future. This book gives practical advice for those who seek a true sense of stability.
