This book is a series of vignettes, diary entries, and short stories that are, to my knowledge, completely true accounts of my life. However, please keep in mind as you are reading that, as Tennessee Williams so thoughtfully states in The Glass Menagerie, "memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart." With that being said, please be aware that these pages reflect my memory of the events of my life, and this is my side to the story. I fully recognize that there are other perspectives to my tale and encourage the other sides to be told. However, all I can do is tell what I know, what I felt, and how it changed me.
WattNaNo Drama Pick Winner 2018. This book has slices of my life, a memoir, covering my difficult childhood coping with my mother's severe mental heath issues and my journey today. This is a collection of short stories that can be independently read. A positive and honest recount.
Postcards from the past, some bad some good. My mother's schizophrenia terrified me when she died it made an impact on my life. Writing this book is my chance to let it go of the pain and move on. I felt confusion, anger and fear as a child but now I am a mother myself I realise my mother was unable to help the way she was and that's so sad, that we never connected. I have written this from an observation point of where I have looked back a the past with an adult view and perspective over time. I've done my best to be honest. So take me as I am or leave me be. Thanks so.much for my supportive cousins, close friends and my Wattpad tribe. You are the best and I feel very lucky. I am pleased to say my life is good as you make it so. Xkx
