After adventurous careers in academia, retail, editing, advertising, house-sitting and political organizing, Sarah Measwell settled near her sister, undertaking a late-life step-family and volunteer work in a small community. She was not expecting more adventures, and when they struck, she began a twenty-three year long examination of her life, resulting in the publication of A Danger to Himself or Others.
""Here is the account of a search for the deepest significance and lifelong influences of the multiple relationships within a family. The courage and intelligence of the search, the unflinching honesty of the telling, and the ultimate compassion offer readers an invaluable guide to their own explorations."" -Christine Martinez, author of Every Second Something Happens ""This is a brutally honest, sometimes funny, tale of what it means to live in memory-the author's own and that of her extended family whose alternate accounts of past events are shattered by Sarah's revelations of childhood sexual abuse. A Danger suggests there are lives within lives, alternate temporalities that interrupt and challenge the otherwise linear narratives. At times Sarah becomes another person, looking at her life from outside; at other times she is so vividly in her life that it's impossible to know if she is the subject or object of her memoir. This is a moving and powerful work of self-exploration whose revelations of family trauma are offset by redemptive moments of awareness and solidarity."" -Michael Davidson, author of Distressing Language: Disability and the Poetics of Error
