Prologue: The heroine's journey

Part I: Childhood: The orphan. My grandmother's garden

The blessed child of two addicts

Leaving the garden

University of the B-more streets

Advanced degree

A gate to many roads

Part II: Hollywood. Promise of a perfect world

Living the dream

Breakdown

Trying to find my footing

The savior prince

Loss unmourned

The reluctant bride

Part III: Ride-or-die. Little gurus

Swallowing the key

Wild banshee

No soccer mom here

Part IV: To the exiled lands. Feeling the rain

A place at the table

Surrender

The holy joke, the holy slap, and holy lessons

Putting the crown on the queen of my heart.
