"Amy's story is flooded with emotion, struggle, and addictive despair, but does not drag us down, but rather in." LeeAnne Krusemark, Author
"Love the quick, sparse, breathy voice of the narrative-very powerful and emotional...I felt this great sense of expansion and hope. Honestly, I could feel this physically." Laurie Chittenden, Editor
Love and loss dance with an undercurrent of girlhood and sexual objectification in this memoir that rips through substance abuse, shame, suicide ideation, and affairs-all to answer the questions that haunted Amy since she was a teenager.
What is wrong with me?What is the point in living?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions or sought solace in the midst of darkness, this raw and vulnerable memoir is for you.
