THE STORY OF MY LIFE

Part 1

begins with a chapter about what was happening in my family before I was born. The next chapter describes my birth, which was a difficult experience for all concerned. The last chapters in Part 1 are about the long and sometimes difficult transition from adolescence into adulthood.

covers the time from my 20s into my 50s. Just like Part 1, there were joys and sorrows. I pursued my career. I lived through the wonders of being in love and the pain of breaking up. Part 2 was about trying to be someone and then dealing with the transition into midlife.
