Life was never destined to be dull.

...Dad skimmed the ditch with the light. “So where’s this moving garbage?”
Gravel crunching under my sneakers, I dashed back and forth along the road’s shoulder. “It was right-“
“Wait, shh!” Dad interrupted, “You hear that?” We froze, ears straining. Something rustled in the taller weeds closest to the woods. We watched the browned grass abruptly thrash in the flashlight’s beam. Gasping, I clutched dad’s jacket. Something unseen rushed toward us. I stiffened. Before we could react, a dark blur flung itself against dad’s legs....

This little book shares the trials of growing up with a physically abusive alcoholic parent, overcoming adversity, and learning how to take charge in life. It’s also about the importance of having fun and finding meaning no matter the circumstances. Each life episode, positive or negative, is a learning opportunity. A chance to discover who we really are. These life stories are not in chronological order. Instead they mirror the convoluted river of human memory, a random flow along meaningful points in time. There are rapids and calms, depths and shallows. Each life moment matters. That’s what we’re here for.
