About Me
I'm happily married to an oil painter. We have six kids between us - four are his, two are mine, one I helped raise so I really have three kids (if that makes any sense.) All of them are grown and on with their separarte, fascinating cult-free lives. I'm a clinical social worker in a maximum security prison where I work with mentally ill inmates. I have also written a book about my experiences in The Way called Losing The Way. It's been a very diffiicult boook to write but I've changed the names and identities of some people with the exception of VPW and myself. (I hope you won't recogize yourself.) Life has been good to me. Peace.

Comments
I don't believe we have ever met, but we have a mutual friend/acquaintance in common at Greasespot Cafe. I admire you for finding your voice, and articulating the enigmatic labyrinth of The Way. Best wishes on the success of your book.
