A box of secrets



Before my mom was my mom, she was a young woman learning about herself. At age 20, she moved from the Midwest looking for a bigger, bolder life.



She found it in the City of Angels.



Forty years later, mom passed away, leaving behind a box full of letters, photos, and secrets from a life she never talked about. Barely even mentioned.



This story is an anthropology of her love life in the disco Decade, with charm wrapped up in the questions that may never be answered.
