I Grew Up In A Dysfunctional Family.

Although I Was Raised Jewish, My Upbringing Didn't Include Any Formal Religious Education Or Training.

My Mother, Whom I Love Dearly, Has Continually Revised My Life Story Within The Context Of A Complicated Family History That Includes More Than The Usual Share Of Divorce, Step-children, Dysfunction, And Obfuscation. I've Spent Most Of My Adult Life Attempting To Deconstruct That History And Separate Fact From Fiction.

My Life Was A Mystery Even As I Lived It.

I Grew Up In A Dysfunctional Family.

Don't Like Small Talk, Love Rainy Days.
