Catharsis: Life Through the Changes Jack Moriarty

It was the fifties. Eisenhower was president and America was feeling wonderful about herself. The Second World War was continuing to recede into the collective consciousness and all things seemed possible. America appeared quiet and content. The perfection portrayed on television became the presumptive, but flawed, reality of our lives.

Into this, we were born-the Baby Boomers, the Me generation, bringing with us all we would become, often selfish, yet frequently idealistic and selfless. Confused, confusing, brilliant and inquisitive, we made our way into the sixties, stumbled through the seventies, had children in the eighties, thought we got rich in the nineties and returned to bell bottoms in the new millennium.

Catharsis captures the essence of those times as never before. Moriarty has a grasp of language and metaphor that leaves the reader spellbound, wondering and often, in tears. His writing style is intense, raw, and emotional. Relive life memories in Catharsis, an intensely personal and awesomely powerful experience.
