EXTRACT FOR
From The Inside Out
(Renee A. Kathleen)

The story unfolds through cross-country moves and a spectrum of challenges ranging from childhood abandonment, illness, parental abuse, and divorce to confronting and overcoming teenage bullies.



Salvation and a sense of identity are found in music, writing, and art?yet the road to drugs and alcohol lies ahead.



This saga is a timeless tale of dysfunction, mental illness, and disorder. While often tragic, it is told with humor and humanity.  It is not a typical 'coming of age' account. It is a testament to the strength of one woman's unquenchable spirit?and the one constant heard above the deafening madness is the steady beat of a rock-and-roll heart in an unsteady world.
