Brace yourself for this candid and darkly funny sequel to Lynn Walker’s award-winning book, Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler’s Daughter. Fiercely determined to live without drugs and alcohol, Lynn has rebuilt her life-survived, somehow, her dad and his cocaine-but she can’t seem to find all the pages to life’s instruction manual.With wit and insight, she takes us on a journey, and what a trip it is! Knocking over chairs and trying not to drink vodka in a Russian castle. Peeing next to a wild grizzly bear. Cocaine-addicted lab rats. Trudging through the wilderness of relationships in search of this thing called love. Even if you’ve never struggled with addiction (or love), you’ll find humor and wisdom in this very human, true story of how we can use just about anything-booze, relationships, potato chips-to try to change the way we feel. A Perfectly Good Fantasy is an authentic and stubbornly hopeful memoir but be prepared-you just might catch a glimpse of yourself on this wild ride.
