Trouble on Six is a story of redemption. In my feeble attempt to fix my parents, my brothers, and anyone else who needs fixin’, I disappeared, losing any sense of who I truly am. I became a control-aholic and my main objective in life was to get you to like me. All my decisions were tainted by these “isms”. The road to recovering my unapologetic, authentic self is paved with lunacy, laughter, love and light. One day at a time.
