My Life Story with Apert Syndrome in my own Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466227576)

Christine Clinton was born in Belleville, New Jersey and moved to Newark, New Jersey in the late 1970's. She earned her Bachelor's in Sociology from Kean University, before cultivating the idea of writing her memoir. While hard at work pursuing her Associate's degree from Ocean County College, and then later her Bachelor's degree from Kean University; she was encouraged to write her memoir. Christine was hesitant about writing her memoir at first, since it would be about her own life experiences, but the thought never left her. She never did anything about jotting down notes for her memoir, and never had a concrete idea to write her memoir; but the desire to write her memoir was very much there. Despite it only taking just a couple short months to write her memoir, it is filled with a lot of deep emotions, and feelings that Christine never realized that she had buried for a long time. It was because of a trusted friend, and a vacation to Louisville, Kentucky, for this encouragement to become a fast reality.
