Biografien
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I was born in 1965. My birth wasn’t as noteworthy as the more history-making moments taking place that year, but for my mother, a miracle had happened. We both survived that difficult birth. I was named Eilleen Regina Edwards: Eilleen, after my mother’s Irish-born grandmother, Eileen Morrison; and Regina, after my biological father’s mother, whom we called Grandma Edwards.
#2 I had a difficult childhood. My mother, Sharon May Morrison, had a difficult life. When she was sixteen, she lost all of her teeth in an accident at school while crouched behind home plate playing catcher during a softball game. She had to have dentures. I didn’t know my father, but I believed my mother when she told me that he didn’t want anything to do with me.
#3 My mother was a single parent when she had me, and she turned to her mother for support. We moved into my grandmother Eileen’s tiny farmhouse just outside of Timmins, in a small district called Hoyle. I remember my grandmother making us Cream of Wheat cereal, which she’d boil to lumpless perfection and serve up with brown sugar and fresh whole milk.
#4 I was born in 1960, two years before my sister. I was always eager to go, even if I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t know what happened once my big sister disappeared on that huge, yellow bus, but I knew I didn’t want to be not going.
