Sleep in Peace
It’s 2007, and while 43-year-old Leanne Spencer’s career is building up steam, her love life is a trainwreck. She’s always believed her addiction to bad boys stems from her flawless father dying when she was a child, but it turns out Mom’s a liar, Dad’s not dead, and her childhood was a well-crafted illusion.
Touted “an American Fleabag,” Sleep in Peace deals with themes of alcoholism, family secrets, and self-destructive tendencies, in a terse, fast-paced yet darkly funny novel.

Sleep in Peace
Leanne can take the heat in the commercial kitchen when running her high-end, patisserie-chef-to-the-stars business, but is a hot mess once the closed sign is up. With age-old family secrets suddenly bubbling to the surface, and coping skills running on empty, it’s the perfect time for her bestie to introduce her the nicest guy ever, right? Wrong.

Elaine didn’t need a ritual. Like anyone could forget Ira and Myra Jacobs. Judging by the crowd at the cemetery their legacy had already reached biblical proportions. Better not to believe. No afterlife. No ghosts. No mother to haunt her. A shiver ran up her back. Shameful, such a thought. Elaine covered her eyes. The swallowed sobs burst forth. Mrs. Friedman gathered Elaine’s trembling hands to her scrawny breast, “Bubbala, you’ll live through this and make your parents proud.”
