I started writing The Lost Years in 1975, shortly after my Mother's death, just days before my sixteenth birthday, and I continued writing for the next 17 years as I searched for meaning, as I searched for me. The years that followed were very difficult years as I was lost and alone. I hope The Lost Years helps you and gives you hope that you are not alone and that you will get through life's difficulties. Keep believing in yourself and keep searching for meaning and truth and you will find your way "home," you will find your way back to you.
