Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when you mix a sociopathic mother, a guilt-ridden stripper, and a secret that stops a second murder? You get a memoir that's nobody's business-but I wrote it anyway.In Stripping Like Nobody's Business, I share my true story of growing up off the grid in the 1960s-with no electricity, no running water, no phone... and no love. My mother despised society, her husband, and her children. However, her actions proved she loved herself and her animals. My stepfather hated her back. I prevented him from killing her-but never told him, because one murder was enough for me.While the torture in my home kept me awake at night, I vowed never to ruin anyone else's life-yet ended up destroying my own. I let you inside my head with unflinching honesty as I search for unconditional love in unlikely places and find dark humor in the recesses of my mind.Decades later, while caring for my stepfather on his deathbed, I asked him how I could outlive my guilt. Mistaking it for shame over stripping, he said, "It's nobody's business." The title stuck-but the story refused to stay hidden.I finally discover what guilt is and get it literally off my chest in Stripping Like Nobody's Business -going further than The Glass Castle or Running with Scissors. If you like memoirs about trauma, survival, and defying the odds despite being Bambi, this is one you'll never forget.
