Fresh off the heels of the book’s hometown tour (Philly is its setting) comes my own hometown visit. I’ll be signing When Happily Ever After Fails at Barnes & Noble in Montclair Place – my old hometown mall – this Saturday, Aug. 10, from 1-3 p.m.
I grew up in Ontario. For non-locals, that’s about 20 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. I had two blue-collar parents who worked extremely hard to buy a home and pay that thing off in record time.
The result years (and decades) after they’ve passed is a childhood home that is rented out to strangers. On the one hand, I’m very happy the home is still in the family. On the other, I do whatever I can to avoid this house.
