"This story, this book, had been demanding to be written ever since my family—my mother, especially—refused to discuss their past. This book is a restitution of my family’s story."
You are a gift to the world Rich, you, whom Anne Lamont was taking about when she wrote: "we are every age we ever were." As long as you, and passionate souls like you, continue to think, work, excavate, persist, and create, there is still hope for humanity.
Rich, what a compelling journey—both personal and historical. I deeply resonate with your courage in peeling back layers of silence, and your determination to tell a necessary story. Morrison’s words feel especially fitting: sometimes the stories we're most hesitant to uncover become the most powerful narratives. Thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring the rest of us to brave our own truths.
Oh shit, I have to read this book. Thanks for the feature.
