Coal Dust & Memories

Coal Dust & Memories Is The Story Of One Life Mine From My Earliest Recollections Roughly 1961 And My Younger Sisters Birth.

A Rollercoaster Ride That I Have Ridden Each Pitfall A Memory Each Memory Recalled And Put Aside To Make Room For The Next Rise Or Fall On My Ride Of Destiny. You May See It As The Writings Of A Victim But I DonT See Myself That WayIt Is The Story That Has Led Me To The Place Where I Find Myself Today. It May Be That You See Your Own Experiences ReflectedOr It Could Be You Who Inflicted Some Of It On Me Or Someone Else The Title Coaldust & Memories Derived From Just One Christmas.I Had Been Allowed Home For Two Days To Be With My Dad From The Girls Hostel Where I Lived In Care.
