If you like my work, this is the most ambitious project I’ve done. At minimum you should want to see if I fall on my face.

We are our parents children. Is there something about your past that lingers on your mind? This book is about jumping in to sort those memories out. In a thousand ways our childhood defines who we are today. How can we not explore our past? My story is told in a way that can help you figure out yours. I’ve made plenty of mistakes but you can benefit from them.
It will start conversations for you / a great gift. Everyone who has enjoyed the book found it raised many important questions for them about themselves.
