I jumped off my family tree. There was no other way. The tree was falling. I’m a writer and visual artist who lives in California. My story doesn’t tie a pretty bow on it.

A lot of friends and a very happy home. Still the past intrudes. The lack of family lingers. To read more of my story go here:
