Review: Surrender: A Journal for My Daughter
Gaby Meares
Joshua Yeldham has created a stunning memoir, which combines his extraordinary art, his wife’s lush photography and the story of his life. It is heartbreaking and exhilarating and truly breathtaking. He reveals his years of being bullied at school for being the “sensitive boy” ( he should have stayed hidden in the library, the librarian would have protected him), and his epiphany moment, hiking in the Swiss Alps, where he discovered his inner steel to never give up.
When you see his wife Jo’s art, and read her diary entries, you know that they are true kindred spirits.
This memoir is a celebration of the artist process, of love, and of parenthood. It is about overcoming the obstacles that block your way and forging your own path, no matter where it leads.
This would be a perfect gift for anyone looking to lead a creative life.
