Teetering on Disaster

Michaela Renee

"Eclectic memoir that takes a look into the unpredictable and absurd ways of life written by women with a sense of humor."


Meet Michaela: She's the girl next door Except that "next door" happens to be a 27-foot 5th wheel trailer with no electricity or running water in the Sierra Nevada’s. At 17 she sets out to take on the world, but 10 years later, she finds herself right back where she started…in a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere. You'll laugh and you'll cry -sometimes at the same time- as she stumbles upon a few Mr. Right Now's and other adventures on her quest to find love and uncover the girl she always was but had lost somewhere along the way. Join "Crazy Kayla" and her nutty cast of characters for a little muddy-path Rock Crawlin through the true story of how her American Dream survives and thrives, in the face of life's inconveniences and heartbreaking setbacks that sometimes leave her Teetering on Disaster.

I jumped around and read through a few chapters, took a different approach because of the way we are following the characters. I like it, I feel sad that there is a lot of silence and yet incredibly hopeful for the characters :) view book

I read a book called Olive Kitteridge, and this book reads a lot like it, following through the mini chapters. I thoroughly enjoyed the style more than anything, the visuals you draw are excellent, I've found a lot of that on Authonomy.com, nice work. view book
