After I wrote Loose Cannons, more photos from friends and family began streaming in.
You can find more stories and updates on Instagram or Facebook.
I look forward to sharing more of my journey with you.

Pictured above:

The House: 318 2nd Avenue Salt Lake City Utah. The first house I remember as a child (I was almost two). I always thought we were poor when we lived here. It wasn’t until five years ago I realized that all this time I had confused being neglected and abandoned with being poor.

Middle Picture: Ted and Joyce Cannon-my parents. You’ll either love them or hate them after reading this book. In the end, I have chosen to love them. This was taken in 1958 in Farmington New Mexico-my mother is 5 months pregnant with me here. See the burning cigarette on the arm of the couch?

Bottom Picture: Beth, and Anna on the right (fraternal twins 2 and a half years older than me), and myself on a hot summer afternoon on our grandmothers porch swing in the avenues of Salt Lake City, approx. 1963.
