The venues are endless for someone with an adventurous, impatient personality who wants constant novelty in his or her life.

I realized, at age 70, that I had no memory of being inside my home, where I grew up, or ever being inside a school classroom. I began to write then, and have continued over the last 24 years, as one painful memory after another was slowly revealed. Recently I figured out what had happened to my mother, and therefore to me. Two more major insights totally freed me. I could then finish Missing Pieces.

I was fine just the way I was. Just fine - until I wasn't. One day, the wheels fell off. This is the story of my journey and transformation.
