Reviews
"Hall emerges as a brave writer of tumultuous beauty." --Alanna Nash Entertainment Weekly "Hall offers a testament to the importance of understanding and even forgiving the people who, however unconscious or unkind, have made us who we are." --Francine Prose O, The Oprah Magazine "First-time author Hall pens a haunting meditation on love, loss, and family . . . Hall colors outside the lines with this memoir, full of unexpected twists and turns." --Caroline Leavitt, (rated 4 out of 4 stars) People Magazine "Beautifully rendered." Elle "A modern-day Scarlet Letter." --Susan Salter Reynolds Los Angeles Times "A poignant, unflinchingly assured memoir . . . exquisite." --Robert Braile Boston Globe "Each chapter of Without a Map is polished and elegantly written...the structure is shapely and the book yields poignant insights." The Washington Post "Without a Map, is so well written that it was hard for me to accept that the book had to end." "Hall, a brave and graceful writer who teaches at UNH, examines her life with wide open eyes and an equally open heart. Even as she wrestles with the grief of many losses--her child, her parents' love and respect, her standing in her community, her identity--she demonstrates the writer's gift of separating from her own experiences, establishing an objectivity that allows her to make meaning for herself and readers." "Elegant prose makes Without a Map an evocative, thought-provoking read. But Hall's heartrending candor on love, loss and hope turn this first-time author's book into a one-sided conversation among new friends." St. Petersburg Times "Without a Map is a devastating story of what happens when a person is exiled from her own life. It speaks of shame, of love betrayed, and of a young woman leaving home to drift alone...Eventually, Hall marries, has two more children, divorces, and then reunites with her firstborn son in a miraculous, though complicated, happy ending." Body&Soul, "Achingly sad, ...this is a stunning exploration of the mystery of 'love and all its failings...and its final redemptions.'" (4 Stars)--Caroline Leavitt, Meredith Hall's off-track life makes poignant reading...not a whisper of self-pity or self-aggrandizement, so often the banes of memoir...exquisite., "First-time author Hall pens a haunting meditation on love, loss, and family . . . Hall colors outside the lines with this memoir, full of unexpected twists and turns." --Caroline Leavitt, (rated 4 out of 4 stars), Written in spare, unsentimental prose, Without a Map is stunning; Meredy's reunion with her grown son (who was raised in poverty with an abusive father) is the highlight. Book groups, take note., Hall emerges as a brave writer of tumultuous beauty.-Alanna Nash, Entertainment Weekly "First-time author Hall pens a haunting meditation on love, loss, and family . . . Hall colors outside the lines with this memoir, full of unexpected twists and turns."-Caroline Leavitt, People (rated 4 out of 4 stars) "Hall's memoir is a sobering portrayal of how punitive her close-knit New Hampshire community was in 1965 when, at the age of 16, she became pregnant in the course of a casual summer romance . . . Hall offers a testament to the importance of understanding and even forgiving the people who, however unconscious or unkind, have made us who we are."-Francine Prose, O Magazine "Meredith Hall's long journey from an inexcusably betrayed girlhood to the bittersweet mercies of womanhood is a triple triumph-of survival; of narration; and of forgiveness. Without a Map is a masterpiece."-David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K and God Laughs and Plays "Each chapter of Without a Map is polished and elegantly written . . . the structure is shapely and the book yields poignant insights."-Juliet Wittman, Washington Post "Beautifully rendered."- Elle , nonfiction readers' pick "In 1965, in a small New Hampshire town, sixteen-year-old Meredith Hall got pregnant and was consequently kicked out of her school, home, church, and community. Hall's mother sent her to another town to live with her father and stepmother, who confined her to the house. Days after giving birth (her baby was put up for adoption), she interviewed at a boarding school where she was forbidden to mention anything about her past. Hall's memoir, Without a Map , is a devastating story of what happens when a person is exiled from her own life."-Frances Lefkowitz, Body + Soul "A poignant, unflinchingly assured memoir . . . exquisite." -Robert Braile, Boston Globe "Meredith Hall's magnificent book held me in its thrall from the moment I began reading the opening pages . . . a fluid, beautifully written, hard-won piece of work that belongs on the shelf next to the best modern memoirs."-Dani Shapiro, author of Black and White "An unusually elegant memoir that feels as though it's been carved straight out of Meredith Hall's capacious heart. The story is riveting, the words perfect."-Lauren Slater, author of Welcome to My Country and Opening Skinner's Box " Without a Map is stunning . . . Book groups, take note."-Booklist, & " Achingly sad, this is a stunning exploration of the mystery of & #39; love and all its failings . . . and its final redemption.& #39; & "

Synopsis
Meredith Hall's moving but unsentimental memoir begins in 1965, when she becomes pregnant at sixteen. Shunned by her insular New Hampshire community, she is then kicked out of the house by her mother. Her father and stepmother reluctantly take her in, hiding her before they finally banish her altogether. After giving her baby up for adoption, Hall wanders recklessly through the Middle East, where she survives by selling her possessions and finally her blood. She returns to New England and stitches together a life that encircles her silenced and invisible grief. When he is twenty-one, her lost son finds her. Hall learns that he grew up in gritty poverty with an abusive father--in her own father's hometown. Their reunion is tender, turbulent, and ultimately redemptive. Hall's parents never ask for her forgiveness, yet as they age, she offers them her love. What sets Without a Map apart is the way in which loss and betrayal evolve into compassion, and compassion into wisdom., "A brave writer of tumultuous beauty." -- Entertainment Weekly "Beautifully rendered." -- Elle "A poignant, unflinchingly assured memoir." -- The Boston Globe This "sobering portrayal" of a pregnant teen exiled from her New Hampshire community is "a testament to the importance of understanding and even forgiving the people who . . . have made us who we are" ( O, The Oprah Magazine ).
