Marcia Harris decided to write her memoir, not because she felt it would be a great read, but as an attempt to go back to the beginning, as far as she could remember, and recount as much of her life as possible to try to piece together how she came to arrive at the present. She remembered things she hadn't thought of in years that made her laugh hysterically to herself as she typed away. Others made her sad and embarrassed. Overall, she found it extremely therapeutic. She even thought it may be helpful to someone that may have struggled with similar circumstances. So, instead of a few copies made for only family and a few close friends, she decided to put it out there in the universe for anyone who happened upon it. She feels that everyone should write their own memoir and highly recommends it. Harris doesn't feel that you have to be famous or have accomplished something extraordinary to write an interesting memoir. Sometimes, the most seemingly mundane existence can be filled with a spirit or energy that captures the heart. The therapeutic results from the satisfaction of purging the past are undeniable. Everyone has skeletons in the closet. Harris decided to let hers out to play. When not writing, Harris enjoys hiking, tennis and advocating for the rights of animals. She resides in Franklin, Tennessee and is currently working on her fifth book. See less
