Surviving Childhood in America: A Story by John-Brian Paprock
Gold Sun
Press is proud to announce the public release of its first book!
The book is based on the true story of one born in 1961 and takes place through the 1960s. It is dedicated by the author to all who survived childhood in America, especially to the author’s siblings with whom his own survival was assured.
From the back cover: “With a dying mother, four children survived a cross-country trek from Los Angeles to Chicago to Las Vegas to San Francisco Bay to Madison, Wisconsin. Ian, the eldest, eventually found out what really happened.”
The book opens in a desert tract in Henderson, Nevada. Then the story follows Ian’s memories through four states, ten schools, with a broken family. His mother, who becomes a single parent, is on her own downward journey at the same time.
John-Brian is a published author of non-fiction and inspirational books and materials. He is also an award-winning artist and photographer. He was a founding member of Art of Healing project, for a public art show of adult survivors of childhood abuse, in 1995. John-Brian was ordained in his church, serving as a pastor, teacher, retreat leader, and hospital chaplain. After more than 30 years in Madison, Wisconsin, he has been living in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) for the last decade or so.
