Growing Up and Other Disasters Mandi Hayes Spencer 1st edition

Welcome to Flatwoods, Kentucky, the home of a once famous country singer who brought fame to the mullet, and Millie Crantz, who is famous only for her ability to get herself in trouble.

Born in the backseat of her parent?s puke green 79? Chrysler Cordoba, Millie Crantz was destined for a life of strange. What she didn?t expect was how strange life would actually get.

Where in the hell is Millie Crantz?

30 years after her grand entrance into this world, rain soaked, confused and staked to the mud by her heels, Millie finds herself standing in the middle of a cemetery wondering who died and how she got there. Deepening the mystery, an older, yet strangely familiar woman gives Millie a pair of shoes that are exactly like a pair she got for her sixteenth birthday. Without explaining why, the woman disappears, leaving Millie to figure it out on her own.

After slipping her feet into her old shoes, Millie?s mind is transported back to 1996. Walking through the memories of a life already lived, Millie looks for answers in her past.

In the first installment of the Crantz Chronicles, readers will walk with Millie as she remembers growing up with a family of loveable screwballs, tries to survive teenage years riddled with ridiculously hilarious trouble and, hopefully, figures out where she lost herself along the way.
