Don't Look Back

About the Book

This is a story that pulls at your heart. It is my hope, that children who read this book discover and appreciate the sacrifices their mom and or dad make for them every day. To always have faith in God, faith in their family and faith in themselves. Curtis, like all children, seeks unconditional love. This is his journey to find two special people to give him the gift that won’t be found under any Christmas tree. Curtis is adopted, looks ahead to the next chapter in his life and doesn’t look back.

About the Author

In an orphanage in 1956, I never experienced any type of security. As a small child in a strange environment, I faced many fears. Slowly my fears faded and in retrospect, they made me resilient, gave me character, and the drive, to succeed. Later, some extraordinary people guided me towards my goals. They set me on a path to become a fifth grade teacher, high school lacrosse coach and a school administrator. They are all gone now, but they knew how much I loved them and valued their advice.

Now retired, with my wife of thirty-five years, we live in a log cabin, on a secluded mountain in Pennsylvania, with our dogs Koko and Cheech and our crazy cat, Izzy. The seasons are beautiful here. We love the outdoors, especially the mountain trails. It is a quiet place, and a peaceful place to reflect.
