This site includes interviews with professionals who treat alcoholism, mental illness, single parenthood, raising grandchildren.  Significant resources are posted on the links page.

Mama’s Little Firecracker Memoir illustrates bi-polar, manic depression, and paranoid schizophrenia. Suicide is often the result of these disorders. Single parents may discover useful coping strategies. Grandparents raising grandchildren and operating in the social services system may also find some helpful  links here.

Besides Mama’s Little Firecracker– Memoir, I want to share my artwork created over the years.  It’s my nature to make things.

Standing At The Door is a second Memoir about classroom teaching.  It describes daily interactions and effective methodology.
