Photo by Landiva Weber on Pexels.com I began writing Thirty Years Without You with a very specific intention in mind. It is a platform for me to reconnect with my dad while allowing others in. It is a chance to share with him the most significant, and in some ways the most mundane, reflections I … Continue reading This is not a Memoir

Reader Views Editorial Review

I was raised to be untrusting of others. I … Continue reading Stepping Into the Fire
