Beyond Sadness
I don't remember many details of my early childhood, before I turned five. Just a sense of sadness about those years–a sadness that I didn't want.

I Wanted to Belong
How close I came to making a total wreck of my life I'll probably never know.
When I went to work for the U.S. Government, I met Al Larson at the USO. Within six months we were married and on our way to a naval base in California. I was 18. Although I had been raised to be "religious," my... >Read More

In Search of...
Steeped in a performance ethic from a very young age, life seemed to me to be one competitive event after another. By the time I reached university, I appeared competent and quick-witted on the outside but inside, I felt overwhelmed by confusion and loneliness.

The Moon Is Not Enough
I volunteered for the space program for the thrill of adventure. Believe me, waiting for take-off while sitting on top of a Saturn rocket that’s 120 meters tall and weighs six-and-a-half million pounds—that’s excitement! I knew I was in for one great ride!
