Maryland resident Dr. David Sherer has fond memories of the African American maid Louise that helped raise him as a child. But the two lost contact in the 1980s. A few decades later, David decided that he needed closure and wanted to reunite with Louise — and to chronicle his efforts in a book.
That’s how he ended up writing his autobiographical tale The House of Black and White, as he told me during a dinner interview at Le Chat Noir restaurant in Washington, DC. It’s the second book he’s written, following a guide for patients on how to deal with hospital visits. And he hopes it won’t be his last.
In addition to talking about his love of writing, David also talked about his lengthy career as an anesthesiologist, and his plans for his looming retirement.
