A raw and bold memoir about abuse and addiction, and the power of expression and community that helped Stephanie Kuehnert, the author of
Ballads of Suburbia
and regular
Rookie
contributor, survive and thrive. Told in varied narrative styles, including journal entries, original illustration, and pages torn from her actual diaries and zines, this is the memoir of Stephanie's life as a struggling outsider who survived substance and relationship abuse to become a strong young woman after years and years trapped in a cycle that sometimes seemed to have no escape.
