Kelly I would love to know more about the years of college and grad school. How you met your husband and how you became an amazing human being and seemingly so well adjusted? BTW I am Eric McIntyre's mother. He just raved about your book and I was anxious to read it. I listened to the audible book and it is well produced. I wanted to take my time and make it last, but I almost could not put it down.

Dear Susan,
I am sorry it took me so long to write back. I didn't see that the notice that you had asked a question until I got a notice for another question. I hope you will still get this.
Marilyn got me off to a good start for a good life. I learned so much at college and it changed my life. My friends in college helped me learn what healthy emotional reactions and relationships looked like. Ben, whom I met in college, and his family showed me that too. I worked a lot of "dead end" jobs right after college, but they all taught me skills I needed and introduced me to a variety of wonderful mentors and friends from different backgrounds and identities. Graduate school made me realize that I wanted to write and teach. I could probably write a whole other book about that time, but it probably wouldn't be that interesting. A lot of the changes I underwent was the same growth and maturation process most young adults go through, even if it looked a little different.
Please give Eric a hug when he comes back from Africa.

Kelly Grey Carlisle:
I was really impressed with the skilled characterization of all of the amazing, frustrating and loveable people in your memoir. To me, they were as memorable as any fictional character, but with the added dimension of actually having existed. Did writing about these folks help give you perspective on all that they did to (and for) you? Do you have life lessons that you plan to share with your own children? Thank yo
