Her Last Death (Post #2)

In Her Last Death (the continuation of pg.40- pg.60 Susanna Sonnenberg speaks about a portion of her life which she titled, "Famous Names". In this section, it states all her memories as a child living in many different places with her sister and mom. They never really had a stable life because they were constantly moving due to her mom's repetitve ways of hooking up with well-known and famous men, then moving in with them. Along with the men, came the many famous women her mother new as well; as a family, they had many connects. Then as it continues she drifts into the facts about how her mom slowly but surely engolfed herself in a very bad drug addiction which led to many events that are yet to come following.

Her Last Death (post #1)

Pages 1- 41
   In the introduction of the biography, Her Last Death, Susanna Sonnenberg starts of by telling her audience the contents of her life now, and flashbacks of her life back then. From the jump, this book has kept me on my toes with an opening sentence of, The phone shouldn't ring this early. When I answer, my aunt Irene rushes into the news. "Your mother's been in an accident. She's been in surgery all night. She's probably going to die"... (Sonnenberg, pg.1) Right away after reading that, it made me very eager to keep on reading. And by doing so, she went into more depth about her past life. From hearing a fasle accusation that her mother has a cancer, to leaving school in mid-day to accompany her mom and sister on a road trip to the Grand Cannon, to having a random man feel up her leg at the movies while she was with her father, to taking care of her little sister and holding a new born in her arms at the age of two, she's been through it all. And mind you not, that all of this took place in the first few chapters, yet there's still a whole book awaiting. :-)
