Is it a true story Dianne? Could you read just this third book? Did she write 2 books about her life before the age of 21? Sorry about all the questions
Catherine Hi I am not Dianne but the author, Cathy Gildiner. Yes, you can read just the third books without the other two.

The answer to your second question is…moreHi I am not Dianne but the author, Cathy Gildiner. Yes, you can read just the third books without the other two.

The answer to your second question is, yes, I did write two memoirs about my life before I was 21. The first one, TOO CLOSE TO THE FALLS was a childhood memoir about my life working full time in my father's drug store. I delivered drugs with a black delivery car driver. The book is about our life together.

The second book is called AFTER THE FALLS and without including any spoilers is a bit darker than the first because some tragic things happened. This volume investigates who a teenager handles family trauma. Also this book is about the 60's where I was involved in Civil Rights and investigated by the FBI and a murder trial.

So as Dianne might tell you, a LOT happened before I was 21. If you have the time you might want to read the books in order so you will know why by the third volume, I am slightly odd-- you will already know about my odd childhood then.(less)
