Book Signing: Shari Sullivan-Quinn - Far From the Tree

And I believed I could, that I could be anything I
wanted to be. But becoming something is easy, like playing a part on a
stage. I have been many things in my life-a mother, a waitress, a
videographer, a good little girl-but they were all just roles, parts
that I have played. Inside, nothing changed. I am still just me, the
person my genes and my environment programmed me to be. There is no
escape through being something. To truly change we must change how we
see ourselves, change its affect on us; after all, if an apple fell into
an orange grove, it would still be an apple. No matter how much it
might admire the bright, fragrant oranges, it would always be an apple.
So no matter what role I play, nothing will change until I change the
picture inside. Otherwise I will always be what my reflexes guide me to
be, what my inner self sees and has always seen, the child of an
alcoholic.
