Our First Featured Book and Contest: HEART OF GLASS: A Memoir, by Wendy Lawless
|
In this edgy and romantic follow-up to her New York Times bestselling debut memoir, CHANEL BONFIRE, Wendy Lawless chronicles her misguided 20s --- a darkly funny story of a girl without a roadmap for life who flees her disastrous past to find herself in the gritty heart of 1980s New York City.
Before downtown Manhattan was scrubbed clean, gentrified, and overrun with designer boutiques and trendy eateries and bars, it was the center of a burgeoning art scene --- both exciting and dangerous. Running from the shipwreck of her glamorous and unstable childhood with a volatile mother, Wendy Lawless landed in the center of it all. With an open heart and a thrift store wardrobe, Wendy navigated this demi-monde of jaded punk rockers, desperate actors, pulsing parties, and unexpected run-ins with her own past as she made every mistake of youth, looked for love in all the wrong places, and eventually learned how to grow up on her own.
With the same “biting humor” (People) that made her “powerful” (USA TODAY) and “illuminating and inspiring” (Reader’s Digest) New York Times bestseller CHANEL BONFIRE so captivating, Wendy turns her brutally honest and often hilarious spotlight on herself, recounting her tumultuous and giddy 20s trying to make it in the creative underbelly of New York City, all the while searching for love, a paying job and, occasionally, a free meal.
