From the Author:

I have enjoyed writing this book about growing up, and how we can never "wait to get older." I hope that the readers enjoy this book, and it brings laughter, and thought provoking moments. I used a good portion of my life for my readers to have someone to relate to. I also included other situations that many have to deal with, such as abuse and alcoholism. Fortunately I have not had these situations in my life, but felt it needed to be addressed, as it is a main part of so many lives.
