A wildly imaginative and emotionally intense novel about mothers and daughters, set in a surreal world in which psychic powers are a common occurrence, and regression into the past of others is the best means of obtaining information. The book is truly a mind trip, one that keeps you guessing right until the end. Priviliged to lend my voice to this tale that stays with you.

When we meet Max, she’s lying on the beach, drug sick and hoping to stay clean for the day. As she flails in her attempts to find her way out of debt and off of drugs, her exhaustion deepens to desperate proportions. This was a deeply moving read - humbled by it.

To get in the groove of Lily's voice, I did a short accent study:
