It's California in the 60's. It is supposed to be a time of peace and love. A poor dysfunctional family manages to survive, but pays a high price due to alcoholism, child abuse and mental illness. True life short stories of survival, friendship, and family. Time or tears do not heal all, as you will see. Stories that make one laugh and cry with every other word. Stories of growing up under unacceptable conditions shine through reflections that caused tears too late. Then suddenly, almost as if I was saying a prayer, I began to speak softly to the officer, saying again and again the words, "No more, no more, no more, please." So, being the only sane person on the floating prison, I decided that if it came down, it could go back up. I called to my sister, "Come to me," I said, "and oh yeah, shut up!"
