Til Things Blow Over
Based on the author's life story, Til Things Blow Over is a profoundly honest and tender telling of one woman’s journey to wholeness. Sometimes gently and other times with a rattling intensity, the author brings us into her inner world, letting us see through her eyes the chaos that surrounds her.

A kind of modern-day David Copperfield, Tess* is burdened with frightening responsibilities from the start of her life, yet is borne through her seemingly impossible circumstances by sheer spirit, innocence, and kind-hearted pluck. She manages violent crises with her alcoholic father, strives desperately for the attention of her exhausted and controlling mother, cares for her beloved invalid grandmother, and loses her virginity to an older boy, all by the age of six.

At the age of eight, Tess is drawn into a sexual relationship with her stepfather which spirals around them for nearly a decade while they are held captive to their individual circumstances. When Tess manages to break free at last, she throws herself into workaholic days and sleepless nights of parties and drugs. Driven by craving for the ever-elusive “something more,” she teeters on the edge of self-destruction until at last the realization begins to dawn that no matter what her past has been, she does not need to be a victim to it.

Til Things Blow Over is a potent tale, simply and engagingly told. Join Tess on her passionate journey, and you may just find yourself inspired to open your heart to love as never before.
