"This may be the very best teenage suicide prevention tool ever created."D. Gallant, Book Reviewer
"The language of gambling makes an interesting and recurrent motif throughout this memoir, asserting that is is only by chance that any one of us could have traveled this very same road. Decks are shuffled, hands are played. An ultimately uplifting, beautifully written, and inspiring memoir."Fiona Edmonds, Book Reviewer
In the bestselling vein of memoirists Jeannette Walls and Frank McCourt, the award-winning author delivers her addicting breakout novela mesmerizing memoir epic destined to become a classic. Set in transient 1970s Las Vegas, OVERLAY is the fighting-to-come-of-age story of a resilient child born into a cycle of alcoholism and abandonment. The author develops a powerful sense of self-preservation in contrast to the fallen adults entrusted with her care.
Her profound story explores the characters and events populating her life as she moved from home to home, parent to parents, family to family, ultimately becoming homeless at fourteen. Out of the resources of her remarkable childhood emerges a gripping inner strength that will charm and captivate readers and remain in their consciousness long after the last page of her story has been turned.
