House of Smoke: Sleeping TIger

By Regina Antionette

House of Smoke: Sleeping Tiger is the raw and intimate second installment in Regina Antionette's powerful memoir series. As childhood tries to carry on, emotional cracks deepen. After the death of her grandmother, the author navigates shifting homes, a splintering family, and the heavy silence of grief. Her mother is trying to stay sober. Her brother is slipping away. And she's left somewhere in between - acting out, lying to be seen, and slowly losing her grip on joy.

But there are still moments of light: bike rides in the summer, slumber parties, and laughter that dares to return. The stillness before the storm feels like healing - until the relapse begins.

This is a story of survival told through the eyes of a girl forced to grow up far too soon. Sleeping Tiger captures the quiet before addiction roars back to life and the strength it takes just to stay.
