Living on the Edge

About the Book

 “Living on The Edge” is based on a true story. It was written to draw attention to as many Parents as possible; not just the ones who are going through a divorce. It is especially dedicated to the Parents who don’t have the slightest idea a problem even exists. The majority of these Parents are the main people who are headed for the shock of a lifetime. I hope to prevent this! Reading my book might give them some insight as to what might really be going through their child’s mind; thereby preventing something they never expected, a cruel some shock.

I am hoping by reaching enough Parents publicly it will draw their attention to what might be in store for them through what they have read and come to realize, “maybe everything isn’t alright.” If I can reach just a few Families then I feel the hard work we, “Trish and I,” have done has accomplished something. We will be deeply grateful if just one child is spared the horror and torment which Trish and many others have experienced.

Trish is the main character in “Living on The Edge.” We spent months working together through tears and laughter.  It was so hard for her going back over and over things which happened to her as far back as she could remember until now.

Most people don’t really think about it. As you read “Living on The Edge” you will come to understand how a little four letter word such as “LOVE” can make all the difference in your life. This is why my book will appeal to the readers, “Everybody needs LOVE.”

They just need to start remembering to show it.

About the Author

Michael was born on July 17, 1950 in a small town called Evan City, Pennsylvania. He had two older sisters and no brothers. Given the opportunity of being the only son and the youngest his Father seemed to be much harder on him, but his Mother made up for that until she was stricken with what they considered at the time, (a nervous breakdown) and became institutionalized for some time. What really happened as we know it today was what we call, (the change of life.) They now know how to treat this today. Instead of over medicating women until they didn’t know whether they were coming or going. They are now treated in several different ways, which seems to be working out just fine since there aren’t as many women being put away.

His Mother and Father have both passed away leaving their farm to be sold causing Michael to find other things to fill the void in his life after he got off work each day from the Mill he worked at. He dabbled in a little bit of everything from mechanics, building motorcycles, the construction of homes to running high equipment. Most people envied him because all he ever needed was to be shown how to do something and he could do it. He never quit anything he was doing unless it was perfect. He always strived for perfection.

Little did he know through the years he would later find out he had a hidden talent for writing. When you read his books you will see what I mean. He definitely gets into his work.
