Background
Information
Throughout my life, I have seen many irrevocable deeds, words and tragedies, some involved family and friends. This book "Living Between The Tracks" is my attempt to share the lives of my younger brothers and myself as youngsters with my children and oldest brother who grew up apart from us.

My hope in writing this book is it gives them better understandings of our lives and perhaps answers questions they've wanted answers to.
I also wanted to share my life as a young woman with my granddaughters and other young people because I believe having insight before hand, sometime prevents avoidable situations.
