この電子書籍について

This story takes place mainly in the houses where Earl Hancock lived in Hawthorne Park and Fullerton, when Earl lived with his wife, Marie, and his son and while he worked at NASA, then went to the moon in the 1970s. This is the drama between the forces of good and evil trying to raise a child during the space age, to have a little boy grow up healthy and happy. It will show the struggle between common sense and cruelty and how Earl Hancock was a real feeling and thinking human being who dearly cared for his son and his family, and in spite of his self-medicating with alcohol, he did everything in his power to have a happy family. With his wife, Marie, trying to destroy him, Earl realized that he was going to have to fight to make his dreams, and that of his son, come true. His son would realize all too soon that he would have to fight for a long time also.

著者について

I was born in the city of Fullerton in the sunny Southern California in the summer of 1960. My parents and I first lived in a small two-bedroom home when my father, Earl, started working for NASA. My parents separated many times and my mother, Marie, had a small apartment in Brea, California, for about a year and a half. After they were in therapy for their marital issues, about when I was five years old, we moved to a model three-bedroom home in Monterey Park, California. In Monterey Park I went to the best schools where I was put in the gifted classes for art, science, math, English, and social studies. After high school I went right into the workforce until a serious back injury in 1984, then again in 1989 and 2001. I also went to junior college in 1985 to 1991, having more than four majors, then graduating to Cal State Long Beach where I attended part-time while majoring in psychology. I would attend University of Phoenix, where I would attain my bachelor’s degree in psychology in December 2008. I would nearly complete a master’s degree in counseling psychology, when I would find myself in legal trouble and would leave California in the spring of 2011 to move to Arizona. This is where the story begins.
