Like My Grandmother Used to Say... (eBook, ePUB)

And Other Lessons I've Learned Along the Way

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book fulfills my wish to bring awareness, hope, at times humor, and an understanding of the challenges we all face in life; to let the reader know that we are all in this together; that everyone has a story just as funny or sad as yours and mine. Like many others, I have faced and survived the challenges life has thrown at me (abandonment, health issues, raising children, divorce, different careers, discrimination, sexual harassment, rejection and child abuse). I believe I have emerged a better person and now seek to share, especially with younger generations, my lessons of life.

Autorenporträt

Iris was born in Puerto Rico and raised in New York City until her early teenage years.For reasons unknown to her, at a very early age, Iris was turned over to her maternal grandmother for care.

She grew up in a dysfunctional family, finding herself frequently surrounded by drugs, guns and crime, yet somehow managed to escape their influence and remain unharmed. She found a way to balance her life by finding beauty and solace in places like Central Park, The Museum of the City of New York, and the 96th Street Library.

Christmas in New York City was a magical time with her maternal grandfather, the only male role model she ever knew.

Grandma was responsible for raising her until it was time to leave home at the age of 18.

Iris now lives in Florida with her husband, three children and five grandchildren.
