Notes After Midnight

How I Outlasted My Teenagers, One Mistake at a Time

Beschreibung

In this haunting memoir, Carol Richmond relives the ten-year experience of raising three children on her own after her ex-husband abandons his paternal responsibilities. One of her sons attempts suicide, the other fails academically, and her daughter is sexually abused by a trusted acquaintance-yet the family endures, because they must.

Autor

Though born in St. Joseph, Michigan, a beach town on Lake Michigan, Carol Richmond spent years of winters bouncing between Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi. She settled in California and lived forty years on the central coast of California until her husband’s early retirement precipitated the move to a farm, purchased in 2005, on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Richmond now divides her time between the farm and the Monterey peninsula. The island serves as a creative respite, cooking and baking retreat, and writing solitude; the Mainland madness feeds her joy imbuing children with a love of ballet and theatre. She continues to nurture her first passion, the performing arts, as the director of a business with a sixty-five-year history of excellence. The three children portrayed in this memoir live as far away from her as possible yet are currently all speaking to each other . . . for now.
