Produktbeschreibung
Soggy Red Confetti is the story of a family and those who continually bisect their faltering world as lives are dominated by addiction and mental illness. This true story, told as it was endured, will resonate with those who are and those who love, someone trapped in desperate, relentless, endless and largely hidden pain, that binds them - hand and foot. It does not take long for these sojourners to jettison the idea of a magic bullet cure. Indeed, there may not even exist a realistic hope for a return to their coveted "normal." In their pain, however, nothing is more desirable than knowing that someone else "gets it" and can affirm it really is as bad as they think it is - and perhaps that someone else has outlasted their surreal existence that passes for life. Soggy Red Confetti is raw, and it is real. But ultimately, it is a celebration of life - messy and miraculous - even when the confetti becomes soggy.
Autorenporträt
Lory Harris is a grandma who writes with a day job in the finance field. Her claim to fame is loving a child through addiction, even when it meant gut-wrenching choices. Sadly, this does not make her unique. But her lexiconic meanderings that convey the reality of those times does. Her "creative and inventive use of the language" and "phrasing and pacing" hold the reader through the jarring journey that examines the issues of mental health and drug addiction from perspectives of the many who were - willing or not - witness to the struggle.
