Description

Take an unpredictable roller coaster ride with the author as her life–which is anything but sunshine and unicorns–unfolds before your eyes. No Loose Screws and Other True Stories is an insightful collection of whimsically hilarious and heart-wrenching stories told with a gutsy, effervescent voice. Deena Byers has an hysterically twisted knack for describing excruciating and intimate life experiences with self-deprecating humor and wit. In Byers’ memoir, there are no elephants in the room. It is about everything from an impoverished, traumatic childhood, schooling by strict nuns, and an innocent dinner party gone horribly wrong to the joy and exhilaration of career triumphs, a safari in the Serengeti, the realities of living with advanced cancer. With grace and humor, Deena exudes life through truly living it. Her writing nails the devastatingly human moments of emotional whiplash and elation with an artistic flair. All proceeds of this book are being donated to “Women for Women International,” a non-profit org for women survivors of war.
