In a poor home in rural Louisiana, one girl dreams of a better future. Tina Fitzgerald feels like a modern-day Cinderella—but a Cinderella stuck in the terrible days and years before her prince comes. Her sadistic mother swings between violence and neglect. Tina’s younger siblings completely rely on her to care for them. She is surrounded by dysfunctional relationships and the oppressing weight of family abuse. She doesn’t think she will ever be free. However, that’s just the first part of Tina’s story. Good friends and a man who could be something more walk into her life, prompting a personal transformation that might be exactly what Tina needs to escape her family once and for all. This powerful new memoir spins a tale of child abuse, neglect, and redemption—with a hopeful touch of coming-of-age romance.* Even in her darkest moments, Tina finds the strength and courage to endure, and that spirit shines through in her new book. *Mature content. Discretion is advised.

Written between 1920 and 1937, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was at the height of his creative powers, these ten lyric tales represent some of the author's finest fiction. In them, Fitzgerald creates vivid, timeless characters -- a dissatisfied southern belle seeking adventure in the north; the tragic hero of the title story who lost more than money in the stock market; giddy and dissipated young men and women of the interwar period. From the lazy town of Tarleton, Georgia, to the glittering cosmopolitan centers of New York and Paris, Fitzgerald brings the society of the "Lost Generation" to life in these masterfully crafted gems, showcasing the many gifts of one of our most popular writers.
