The wonderful Starry Sky that smiled upon my early years, turned into a curvy\u00a0 <\/span>and crooked path when my mother began to take in foster children.<\/p>\n

I was a precocious independent child that resisted my mother\u2019s controlling ideas.<\/p>\n

These foster children needed her rigid approach to life and they worshipped all her attention.<\/p>\n

I became even more independent and threw myself into the love of learning, going on treasure hunts and studying the world of rocks and minerals.<\/p>\n

All that research saved me years later when I became a Rebellious Juvenile.<\/p>\n

You can read more about my early years in the book I am writing,<\/p>\n

\u2018Rock Crazy & the Magic Stone\u2019<\/p>\n

The book I just published,<\/p>\n

\u2018The Juror Rejudges the Trial\u2019<\/p>\n

Covers most of my later years<\/p>\n
