Lisa was never truly comfortable in her own skin. The only thing she ever wanted was to escape her own reality and find solace in something else. Everything and everyone she’d ever known seemed foreign and suffocating and she only ever felt genuinely safe when she was running. Lisa’s family was dysfunctional. As the eldest child, she felt responsible for both her siblings’ and her parents’ well-being, her predicament forcing her to neglect her own mental health. Her only recourse was escapism; finding comfort in the obliteration of self-medicating with illicit drugs, to numb her confusion and emotional pain.

It wasn’t until Lisa reached a point of complete self-destruction that she realised her next choice could be her last. Life finally forced her to stop. She had no other option but to change her habits, her survival depended on it.The one thing that determined the outcome of that choice was simple: someone cared.

The second book in the Space trilogy explores the dysfunction of family, sexual discovery, substance abuse and recovery. It highlights the consequences of the choices we make, equipped with the tools and knowledge that define us. The tribulations and triumphs in our lives are paths leading us to our universally desired destination; love.

A story about family breakdown, sexual fluidity, addiction, endurance and the choice between self-destruction and triumph.
