“Book Descriptions: Sutton Foster had an early start at fame; by 17, she was already performing in her first Broadway tour. Her years in New York City and on the road were thrilling, but they were filled with some of the most trying experiences of life. Through it all, Sutton turned to art to lift her up in the challenging times and ground her in the exciting ones.
In a structure similar to Ilene Beckerman's Love, Loss, and What I Wore, Sutton explores her most formative moments, both the triumphs and missteps, through the crafts she lost herself in at the time. From crocheting through her isolating experience in her first Broadway tour, to the quilt she created while processing a painful divorce (aka her "divorce quilt"), to the creative projects she would devote herself to when navigating a difficult relationship with her agoraphobic mother, Sutton reveals how immersing yourself in a creative process can lead to healing and growth.” DRIVE
