The Literary Connection Volume V: My Father/My Mother = Myself

The fifth in a series, The Literary Connection Volume V is a collection of stories and poetry on the theme of My Father/My Mother = Myself. Writers of diverse backgrounds share stories of mirroring--consciously or unintentionally--the influence of those who raised them in their own thinking, behaviour patterns and lives in general. Authors of diverse backgrounds share how their parental/guardian influence has impacted their lives. In good ways or in not so pleasant ways, the writers have spoken to their truth in a unique, authentic voice. Authors share their past and reflect on their learning from the experience. There is so much to glean and understand about people from listening to their stories. Each story takes us into a fascinating world! Compiled & Edited by: Cheryl Antao-Xavier
