Publisher's Synopsis
Trigger Warning: Contains themes of mental illness, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional), drug use, prostitution, religious trauma, and medical crises.
In this unflinching, darkly funny, and fiercely honest memoir, the author takes you through a chaotic storm of survival-navigating mental illness, heartbreak, addiction, and the aftermath of abuse with sharp wit and disarming vulnerability. From escaping the grip of toxic marriage to facing down a lifetime of abandonment, You Can't Count On Me is not about having all the answers. It's about the messy, complicated, often steamy truth of reclaiming your own narrative and building a life from the wreckage.
For readers who crave stories that are brutally real and unexpectedly hopeful-this is a memoir that doesn't flinch, doesn't fake, and doesn't hold back.
