| Details | Fifty-five years after Amy Turner’s father climbed out on the ledge of a window of the Taft Hotel in New Haven and threatened to jump — a story that received national news coverage — Amy is convinced she’s dealt with all the psychological reverberations of her childhood. Then she steps into a crosswalk and is mowed down by a pickup truck — an accident that nearly kills her. Ultimately, Amy takes a remarkable emotional journey. She starts by unraveling the trauma of her own brush with death — and then, unexpectedly, goes on to heal the childhood trauma buried far deeper. Poignant, intimate, and at times surprisingly humorous, On the Ledge offers proof that no matter how far along you are in life, it’s never too late to find yourself.
