Angeles

By Marlayna Glynn

"An amazing story of a young girl who comes of age with only snippets of guidance from the adults around her." -Eileen Cahill Moalli

"Each brief chapter is like a sonnet to hope and, at times, to disappointment."-Ron Vincent

"It is very inspiring and well worth your time to read." -Dan Markeson

Award-winning author Marlayna Glynn resurrected her chaotic Las Vegas childhood in her first book, OVERLAY. ANGELES, an account of her adolescence, continues her journey in 1980s Los Angeles. The author unflinchingly begets a self from the unlikeliest of beginnings and now delivers a sequel illustrating heaven and hell on her continuing flight for self-discovery and survival.

The author seems to satisfy her longing for a permanent family when her marriage to a handsome entrepreneur produces four children in quick succession. But a college degree, homeownership, and a marriage license aren't enough to battle her troubled early beginning. Rejecting the alcoholism that claimed both her mother and her father, she sinks into a long-in-coming depression instead. ANGELES is a memoir about realigning the stars by fighting genetics; becoming a mother; moving from victimhood to womanhood. Fans of Jeannette Walls, Maggie Hartley, and Maya Angelou will appreciate Marlayna's story.
