Los Angeles writer, Stephanie Hubbard, came to a book club meeting and delighted us with stories of writing her memoir about growing up in a volatile family. Her ability to draw you into the story of the precocious little girl who sees that she's in a pickle but is also pulled into her family's orbit especially by her bi-polar father who controls his family like a malevolent dictator when he's not charmingly disarming.
Stephanie was shopping the book to publishers just as the country was entering the worst recession since the great depression and the publishing industry was ringing the death knell on its own industry. True to the character we get to know in "Bluff Island," she didn't give up and self-published her memoir.
I loved this book.
