A powerful autobiography that will hit home and make you stop dead in your tracks. Do we really know those closest to us?
Faye Ellison was a happy and trusting kid. Always surrounded by her cousins, aunts, uncles, and her loving, young parents. Everything was normal for the lower-middle-class family that lived on Ferguson Avenue.
The family of five took modest vacations, enjoyed holiday gatherings, took long summer drives, and threw birthday parties. Then, something happened to Faye, and the house with a family of five would forever be changed.
The shift was gradual, but it was a shift nonetheless. Her mom, Madeline, thought Jesus would work it out while her Dad, Adam, inundated the family with the movement. But there was something more sinister that neither could repair. Something that drove Faye to drink, contemplate suicide, murder even.
My Life As A Lemon unveils the secrets of those closest to us and how the struggles of those secrets seep into every aspect of life. Now, forty years after the shift, it's confession time.
An autobiography that women can understand and relate to.
