My new book, Dear Mom and Dad, is the end of a long journey toward understanding my family. My hope is that readers will be inspired to take a step back and look at their own families through a wider lens. Families are all complicated to some degree, certainly mine was, but in this book I also explore the times when there was just love there. That's part of our story too.
"Sometimes we turn a corner in our lives and everything changes. A stranger is standing there - in sun or in shadow, it doesn't matter. He is there for us. He moves the pieces on the board when we're not looking, wipes tears from our eyes when we thought we were laughing and places them on our tongue so we'll recognize the taste, wince at the saltiness."
