Cardinal Days

Growing up with a mother who was always onstage was a problem. Mother, a dancer and an actress, had little interest in parenting. I looked for and found substitutes who could mother me. At different stages of my life, different women filled that role. My story covers my struggles from age seven until my mother's death when I was 25. It ends a year after Mother's death when it is clear that I am navigating life's obstacles successfully.
