City of Angeles
No Customer Reviews
OVERLAY resurrected the reckless life of Marlayna Glynn Brown's Las Vegas childhood. CITY OF ANGELES, her account of her adolescence, continues her journey among the saints and sinners of 1980s Los Angeles. The author's second memoir follows her struggle to construct an adulthood lacking a rules handbook. The author seems to satisfy her longing for a permanent family when her marriage to a handsome entrepreneur produces four children in quick succession. But a college decree, home ownership, and a marriage license aren't fast enough to help her outrun her troubled early beginning. Rejecting the alcoholism that claimed both her mother and her father, she sinks into a troubling depression instead. CITY OF ANGELES is about realigning the stars by fighting genetics; becoming a mother by learning to be a mother; moving from victimhood to womanhood. The author unflinchingly begets a self from the unlikeliest of beginnings, and now delivers a sequel illustrating both heaven and hell on her continuing flight for self discovery.
