Tuning In
Sandy Miranda
"Tuning In is an affirmation of facing and conquering life’s challenges through the power of connection, creativity, and glorious music." — Michele Flannery, KPFA music director emerita
This is an inspiring memoir about a young woman who, abandoned by her father and then her mother, must become an adult at a very young age and deal with her teenage pregnancy. Growing up shy and poor in wealthy Palo Alto, her strength comes from the precious time she spends with her Irish grandmother who follows the old ways in the deep southwest.
Follow Sandy’s journey of self-discovery as she puts herself thorough college, finds work at a nascent Apple Computer in Silicon Valley, and then has a life-changing experience at Esalen at age 43.
Going on to become a beloved international public radio broadcaster, she embodies courage, imagination, and self-invention, never giving up on her vision of creating a better life for herself and those around her. An honest, moving story of loss, grief, endurance, joy, and creativity, told with an undeniably contagious sense of humor and hope. This down-to-earth and extraordinary journey to wholeness shines a light for struggling artists and creative seekers of all backgrounds.
