In this honest and personal talk, author Christian Mørk looks back on his upbringing in a remarkable family of artists. He shares what it was like growing up with his biological parents, Susse Wold and Erik Mørk, and with his stepfather, Bent Mejding.
The talk gives an open look at a childhood marked by strong emotions and complicated relationships, including a difficult bond with a father who left the family to live openly as a gay man, and a stepfather who stepped in as an important source of support. Christian Mørk speaks about feeling like an outsider, about taking on responsibility far too early, and about the silence that can settle over families. At its heart is a life-affirming story of love, reconciliation and the courage to reach out before it is too late.
Christian Mørk is a writer and former journalist and film producer. He has spent most of his life in the USA, and his acclaimed thrillers have been published in more than 20 countries.
