Celestine Favrot Arndt 
What Was I Thinking 

What Was I Thinking? is both a witty memoir and a thoughtful meditation on life—an attempt to distill insight from a lifetime of experience. Touching on both singular events and the dramas common to all human beings, Ms. Arndt writes honestly on childhood, adolescence, college, marriage, motherhood, living overseas, challenges, failures, loss, grief, family, friendship, gratitude, and joy. A luminous and illuminating life story.
