Instead, she found herself driven to face the difficult past she'd left behind a decade ago: a mother disabled by years of alcoholism, further handicapped by a tragic brain aneurysm; a father who abandoned the family when she was three, now a meth addict in and out of recovery. After years in New York City she's pulled home to Southern California by forces she doesn't totally understand, haunted by questions of legacy and trauma. Here, she works toward answers, uncovering hard truths about her parents and herself as she explores whether it's possible to change the course of her history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStray\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving, sometimes devastating, brilliantly written and ultimately inspiring exploration of the landscapes of damage and survival.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTEPHANIE DANLER is a novelist and screenwriter.
