Kim Rich

“A Normal Life” is for my three daughters. I wanted them to know my journey to being their mom. I became a mother to triplets at age 44. This book picks up where my first book left off – me, an only child; orphaned at 15. The story, often humorous, takes readers through college, career, marriage, divorce, remarriage, cancer, infertility, plus a couple of near death experiences. This is also a story of the search for family and finding it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kim M.
