A Memoir

From
the bestselling author of Sweetbitter, a memoir of growing up in a family
shattered by lies and addiction, and of one woman's attempts to find a life
beyond the limits of her past. Stray is a moving, sometimes devastating,
brilliantly written and ultimately inspiring exploration of the landscapes of
damage and survival.
After selling her first
novel--a dream she'd worked long and hard for--Stephanie Danler knew she should
be happy. Instead, she found herself driven to face the difficult past she'd
left behind a decade ago: a mother disabled by years of alcoholism, further
handicapped by a tragic brain aneurysm; a father who abandoned the family when
she was three, now a meth addict in and out of recovery. After years in New
York City she's pulled home to Southern California by forces she doesn't
totally understand, haunted by questions of legacy and trauma. Here, she works
toward answers, uncovering hard truths about her parents and herself as she
explores whether it's possible to change the course of her history.
Lucid and honest,
heart-breaking and full of hope, Stray is an examination of what we inherit and
what we don't have to, of what we have to face in ourselves to move forward,
and what it's like to let go of one's parents in order to find peace--and a
family--of one's own.
