Knee Deep in Paradise by Brett Butler
Hyperion Press, Hardback First Edition, 1996
First edition, Dust Jacket has some shelf wear other than that like new. Great first editions at afordable prices. Romance as well as adventure in a uniquely written book.Knee Deep in Paradise is the story of a woman who has survived a gothic childhood in the Deep South, an adolescence of bewildering explorations with sex, drugs, and alcohol, and an abusive first marriage with her sense of humor - and love of language - intact. With a phoenixlike power to re-create herself from the ashes she had made of her life, Brett found comedy. And as she found her own voice - a voice as forthright as the experiences it describes - she found success. But the popularity Brett now enjoys is rooted in the stuff of her past, and it is this past she describes here, not sparing herself along the way
