Authors at the Teague

had a wonderful afternoon yesterday at the Teague Library. I went to do a booksigning and what I ended up having was a warm conversation with a room full of really wonderful people. I had a prepared statement and I never got to it.

When I spoke of my father and his illness ladies around the room chimed in to say "at my house it was my . . " then they would fill in the blank with mother - father or husband. We all had the same story and we spoke of the pressure of the silence we all shared about our circumstances.

Everyone, even those who haven't shared my experience, was so much fun and involved in the conversation. We talked about life, my husband (who was there - so I was careful ) and Divorce Court.

And I certainly don't want to forget the several stoic men who came and braved a whole room of emoting women. Thank you.

I hope my book and the things my mom did to calm the chaos in my life helps at least a little. Even for those with other issues (we all have them) I hope the book helps. The whole thing is just about better emotional control.
Thank you all for showing up and sharing freely.
