TOPIC:
Despite the pressures from her wonderful, but overbearing Indian mother to find a man and settle down, Natasha Scripture wasn’t ready to get married. Nor did she want to work in an office pushing papers. She wanted an exciting, globetrotting career. So when she landed her dream job as an aid worker for the United Nations, her addiction to adrenaline and fear of committing to one place, or person, was with her for the ride. But it all took a turn when her father became ill and she made the choice to remove herself from the frontlines, taking a job at UN headquarters in New York to be closer to him. At the age of thirty-eight, Natasha finds herself at a draining desk job, burned out from dating, and shaken by the loss of her father. Becoming increasingly aware of time and seeing the other single, childless, forty-something-year-old women surrounding her in her field, she realizes it’s time for a change. She had noticed that while she was traveling the globe, pursuing a “relationship with humankind,” she had forgotten about one of the most important relationships – the one with herself. In an adventurous and emotionally charged memoir, MAN FAST: A Memoir, Natasha Scripture asks herself: What is my purpose? Recognizing her privileged upbringing, Natasha wanted to connect with people and the world in a whole new way!
