"Before the dark side of the Internet and TikTok, there were the false promises of TV and the tabloids," writers Susannah Marren, author of MIRABELLE'S SHADOWN. "Part love affair, part loss of innocence, part plight of a teenage girl immersed in survival, BORN LUCKY invites the reader into the tragic, naïve truth about how popular culture devours teenage girls."
