Honestly, I'm afraid people won't understand my book. (I'm already sounding pretentious.) Like I said, this book is personal to me. So what you may consider unnecessary violence, I see as part of my history. I've long since come to terms with it. Memory House is about how one, completely unexpected event can change you completely. I go back and talk to myself at different points in my life, to see how I changed.
Keep a open mind.
