Mom, Was There Color when You Were Young?: I Think We're Alone Now

Imagine finding your mother’s diary written when she was just fourteen. Would it be boring? Mere nothingness? Black and white? How could she possibly have lived without cell phones? Did she ever disobey her parents? Did she kiss boys? How could she have had any kind of life before you were born? Come snoop into this girl’s diary, back in 1967, when she was just a freshman in high school, as she pours out her soul with paper and ink. She tells of the pain of her mother’s death, the loneliness of the empty house, the shock of her father’s quick return to dating, the frustration of being the caretaker of the family (including a midnight trip to the sheriff’s office to get a drunk Dad), and the wondrous world of boys. Come find the color your own mother might have had in her young life…Steadle-Phillips, Susan is the author of 'Mom, Was There Color when You Were Young?: I Think We're Alone Now', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424154944 and ISBN 1424154944.
