Autorenporträt
My goal is to bring you along with me through three-quarters of my life experiences: Having a Down's Syndrome sister, unable to speak, all of her life, was difficult for my family. I cannot understand why the universe would do that to someone, although today I see many people with Down's who are highly functional. My sister was "supposed" to die by age ten, but she lived until age 48. I take you to Europe with me and meet interesting people. I take you to university with me in Sicily, Italy. I take you on my job as a nanny in Rome, where my middle-class values collide with those of a billionaire.. I take you with me through my struggles raising my beautiful son. I take you with me through a painful lustful experience with a man I should never have stayed with, although I tried very, very hard to get him to go away but he soothed my loneliness, I take you with me through a real and frightening psychotic episode. I have had many wonderful experiences and awful experiences, and that's my life. So far, here are 66 years of my life, and my collection of prose poetry - poems that do not rhyme - begin at age 13. I think the progression from child to adult writing is clear. At age 67, I lost friends: Lynn Montgomery, a part-time psychiatrist and my Landmark Education friend; Glen Rosenwald, a teenage lovers; and Mark Hankins, one of my husband's lifelong friends from Michigan. I miss them very much.
