Stefan Merrill Block on his memoir 'Homeschooled'

Stefan Merrill Block was homeschooled for much of his youth, isolated from his peers and subjected to somewhat unorthodox teaching methods by his mother. His new memoir, Homeschooled, recalls that period in his life and how it affected his adulthood and his final days with his mother. I recently spoke with Stefan Merril Block about this homeschooling experience and about his mother’s impact on his life.
