#25 - Memoirist Mary E. Gregory on Growing Up Poor and Finding Your Silver Linings The Future is Human - with Kayleigh O'Keefe

Welcome to The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!
Can you imagine being born with a bilateral cleft lip and palette and not being able to eat in front of your friends? Can you imagine growing up on public assistance for over a decade? Can you imagine your father, a Christian preacher, coming out as gay when you were just six years old? What about having a paranoid schizophrenia mother who drives you across the country and writes her complaints to the world on a mattress?
Mary E. Gregory is the author of an incredibly poignant memoir - Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue - and on this podcast she shares the moments from her fraught childhood that shaped her and reveals how she was able to write her memoir with deep compassion for her flawed parents.
