Living with them and seeing them divorce and growing up.Extended description
Fulton Avenue is a small street in the Los Angeles county suburb of Sherman Oaks. In 1968 my parents came to this little 2 bedroom apartment after spending their whole lives in the very cold Minnesota. After my Mother found out her director brother had moved to LA it was just a matter of time after she heard how great it was. The alcohol fueled life of my parents and the lifestyle that was ended once they had two children was a shock to them, so much so that they divorced only after 2 years. This is a book about the short little highlights of my going to school, stories of unexpected events, like my brother almost being killed and living in a show biz neighborhood and surviving earthquakes, late nights listening to Sinatra and watching Merv Griffen. It's the funny and sad and harsh, and real experiences though my eyes from age 5 to 17.Tags
