How does a woman role-shift along the crazy rollercoaster of life, playing the characters of daughter, student, free spirit, mother, wife, and more, to adapt and survive the slings and arrows of parental and familial misfortune? Kathryn Allen Rabuzzi has written a full-length memoir, “Rotting Floorboards and Debut Dreams: Tripping Through Childhood Before LSD”, a unique “riches to rags to redemption” tale describing her upbringing in a family of wayfaring Bohemian intelligentsia, their fates dictated by circumstance and destiny.
The novel is published by Create Space (2016) and is now available on Amazon and Kindle.
Rabuzzi survived her rare and uncommon journey with grace and aplomb, pursuing the adult life of an academic in English Literature, Humanities and Religious Studies at Syracuse University, New York University, Le Moyne College and Upstate Medical Center. Her writing career to date has explored Child and Family Studies terrain from the distaff point of view, with publications still in print including “The Sacred and the Feminine: Toward a Theology of Housework” (Seabury Press, 1982), “Motherself: A Mythic Analysis of Motherhood” (Indiana University Press, 1988), and Mother with Child: Transformations Through Childbirth” (Indiana University Press, 1994). She has also authored numerous short stories and plays.
