i am the author of Euclid Avenue Our scars mean something. it is the 1st in a series of 3 true life novels that depict my 53 years on this earth. the first book, stated above, covers my life from age 4 to 24. it is at that age when i discovered my 18 mo old baby brother, a special needs child, floating face down in the bathtub. the culprit is still alive, the matter was never fully addressed and justice remains unfulfilled.
the balance of the book depicts a childhood of parental neglect, deceit, theft and manipulation. full time employment began at age 12. the teenage years were characterized by experimentation to habits to addictions that culminated in a wager that resulted in a loveless marriage that ended in divorce and nearly in death. an outrageous conversation resulted in an eternal decision that produced a life led less than perfectly.
