From the author of the international bestseller Sweetbitter,
a memoir of survival, starting over, and love in all its
complicated guises. Even after achieving her dream of selling her
debut novel, Stephanie Danler feels adrift in New York. Struggling
in the throes of a doomed relationship and haunted by her
tumultuous childhood, something nameless compels her to return home
to Southern California. In a cottage in Laurel Canyon, as a new
life begins to shape itself, she finally succumbs to memories of
the past that have proved impossible to escape. A father who swung
in and out of her life erratically, charming and mercurial and
prone to addiction. A mother now disabled by years of alcoholism
and an aneurysm, who cannot remember the abuse she inflicted. The
looming, desolate mountains of Colorado, and a teenage freedom that
nearly killed her. And above all, the painful love and forgiveness
for those who failed her over and over again. ‘It's such a thrill
to watch a writer open up her greediest thoughts, to slice open
little pockets of her skin and root around underneath her flesh.’
New York Times Book Review  ‘A compulsive, neck-breaking
masterpiece.’ Lisa Taddeo ‘This is a story of triumph: the
triumph of grit, talent, grace, and beauty over the dark pull of
inner demons.’ Dani Shapiro
