Summary of Claire Nelson's Things I Learned from Falling

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had flown to Canada to start a new life, but after I packed up my life in the UK, I felt like I was always moving on, never feeling like my feet were firmly on the ground. I wanted to be free of the nagging fear of pitching my ideas and the voice of self-doubt. #2 I had gone looking for wilderness, and now it had found me in the desert of southern California. The desert is beautiful, peaceful, and uncluttered. It is a world that is regenerating daily with the slow, steady rhythm of the earth. #3 I had first met Natalie in my early twenties, when I moved in with her in London. We were both temps, and we lived on a shoestring much of the time. But we tried our best to make it feel like a home. #4 I had met Lou and his friends, affable Americans from the Midwest, fellow expats who enjoyed a camaraderie built upon our shared appreciation for what felt new and exciting in a city that was aging well. They had created a life in Joshua Tree.
