ÒFor Crying Out LoudÓ is the exploration and journey of an adopted child. Its primary focus is the examination of a life fraught with turmoil, and the dire consequences left in its wake.

Told playfully at times, in a series of entertaining vignettes, this memoir shines a light on the collateral damage associated with mental illness, alcoholism, drug abuse and suicide.

In its darker moments, littered across the pages, events are reflected upon in gripping fashion. Candid recollections which elicit a deep sense ofÊforeboding. Not for the timid!

A shameless airing of dirty laundry that places you as a fly on the wall, witness to an organized tantrum of sorts, transforming into a cathartic attempt at healing, self-discovery and redemption through forgiveness.

The writerÕs self-examination is its very own high wire act, up close and personal, akin to staring into the mirror to see who blinks first!
