Award winning author Marlayna Glynn resurrected her luckless Las Vegas childhood in her first book, OVERLAY. ANGELES, an account of her adolescence, continues her journey in1980s Los Angeles. The author unflinchingly begets a self from the unlikeliest of beginnings, and now delivers a sequel illustrating heaven and hell on her continuing flight for self discovery and survival.

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 enough to successfully battle her troubled early beginning. Rejecting the alcoholism that claimed both her mother and her father, she sinks into an inevitable depression instead.

ANGELES is a memoir about realigning the stars by fighting genetics; becoming a mother; moving from victimhood to womanhood. Fans of Jeannette Walls, Maggie Hartley, and Maya Angelou will appreciate Marlayna's story.
