Her father was a hairdresser to the rich and famous - he was also their drug dealer.

Her mother was an alcoholic fashion model.

Her days and nights were non-stop parties - she spent them taking care of her little sister and putting out naked flames.

And when her sister dies aged nine, Gavanndra is left alone with her grief. Growing up in the dazzling days and dark nights of her parents' social lives, surviving means fitting into their dysfunctional world, while stopping the family from falling apart . . .

Review :
Unflinchingly honestly. A beautiful book . . . everyone should read it There are scenes that will reduce you to tears, but there's also humour, forgiveness and uplifting optimism [...] by the end of this dazzling debut you just want to give her a huge cheer for coming through Wise and moving . . . this memoir is an acknowledgment that love demands a price By turns painful and joyful, this beautiful book has plenty of poignant lessons to teach us about grief and love Gavanndra writes beautifully, her words are unsentimental but very lyrical [...] I loved this book and my tears fell into the bath as I read it A devastating, heart-breaking and magnificent meditation on the function of memory. It will stay with me forever, so beautifully written A completely unforgettable and unique family memoir. A total cliché but I honestly couldn't put it down A real tear-jerker 'Beautifully-written, calm-but-utterly-compelling life-story of trauma and healing... the author seems lovely and I want to be her pal!' At a time when so many families are losing loved ones, and are denied even the scant comfort funerals provide, there is no more poignant moment for this book to appear
