Five Star Trust is about my father who lived a double life as a CIA operative during the 1970's in South East Asia and my quest to discover the truth of our family that was organized, for most of my life, around his badly kept secret. This memoir explores these intersections: what it is to live in a world centered around political power and the desire for significance, the shock to our psyches when the ugly underneath of our most intimate relationships makes itself understood, and how a person can become less afraid of being themselves in the world.
