Affliction
A Memoir
Laura Hall was born in a small city on the San Francisco peninsula to a straight mother and a gay father who lived in the shadows. She grew up in the post-World War II era of hopeful optimism and entered her teenage years during the rebellious sixties. Laura's father, it turned out, also longed to rebel, although social constriction prevented him from doing so. By the time he came out to her in 1975, she was a twice-divorced, twenty-four-year-old single mother struggling to make sense of how her perfect family of origin could have sheltered so many secrets.

Über den Autor
Laura Hall was born in a small city on the San Francisco Peninsula. A member of the post-World War II baby boom, she grew up in an era of hopeful optimism. After turning sixteen in 1967, just as the Summer of Love kicked off in San Francisco, she hung out with flower children in Haight-Ashbury, marched against the Vietnam War in Golden Gate Park, sang along to live counterculture music at the famed Fillmore Auditorium, and was pregnant by the time she was a senior in high school. When her daughter started college eighteen years later, so did Laura. After receiving her BA and MA in Landscape Architecture at University of California, Berkeley, she went on to teach for the school's Extension program and build an urban design professional practice where her projects included community facilitation in northern California communities and rebuilding plans for Mississippi Gulf Coast towns after Hurricane Katrina. She currently works in the Environmental Protection Agency's Tribal, Intergovernmental, and Policy Division in San Francisco.
