Description: "Lyla unerringly evokes the life of a troubled family and the love that grows in it. Quinn must learn how to exist in his mother's troubled world without being consumed by her selfishness. Set during the Great Depression, on the upper coast of Florida, this touching story is dripping with the sepia tones of Old-South culture. It is about growing up in an achingly anguished household and finding a way to survive. A stirring memoir that delivers the reader to a harsh world that is captivating, at times shocking, and triumphant. Written with fervor and affection for a wounded past, Sean Dietrich's newest work is an intense and heartfelt epic about the son of a restless woman, hard times, and those caught in the spurring drafts of fate"--
