Lisa F. Rosenberg Brings “Fine, I’m A Terrible Person” to Books & Books in Coral Gables, FL
On March 3rd, Coral Gables is hosting an evening with Lisa Rosenberg discussing Fine, I’m A Terrible Person, published by Sibylline Digital First!
“If you can’t laugh at the complicated entanglements of the mother-daughter “trauma bond” you might have to cry, and that’s okay too. Lisa Rosenberg has written a novel that invites a full range of emotions as you journey from neurotically wealthy Marin County to a legal cannabis conference in Los Angeles and cross paths with the extended family’s “Rhodeslis” ancestral culture and rich cuisine for extra spice. It’s a fast-paced ride with characters you may find frustrating and endearing in equal measure, like life itself. Enjoy the ride!” —Marianne Rogoff

About Fine, I’m a Terrible Person:
Can a mother and daughter, bonded by trauma, finally make peace?
This funny, tender mother-daughter caper story stars 73-year-old, worn out, former beauty, Aurora, who is a perpetually broke, eccentric divorcee living in the wealthy enclave of Marin County. When Aurora discovers her father’s widow has died, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see if this means money for her. Enter 43-year-old Leyla, Aurora’s high-strung insomniac daughter who spends her days manically pursuing perfection while attempting to keep up with the other Marin uber-moms. When Leyla overhears a conversation and suspects her husband is embarking on an affair, she decides to sneak into a Cannabis business conference he is attending, also in LA< to spy on him. Aurora and Leyla’s separate quests intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend inciting chaos, and yes, even some healing.
