Tami Lou Castillo’s debut memoir:
The Mould Maker

Tami Lou grows up longing to be close to her father, only to watch him drift further into the self-destructive storm of a long-held secret.

Decades later, the truth finally emerges. Where Roy once stood, now there is Connie. But can Connie’s courage heal their broken relationship?

The Mould Maker is the story of a daughter’s search for her authentic father and the unconditional love that shapes us - if only we allow it.
