Take the long way home...
Full of big dreams of the fast life, Tallie Beck hit the road at the age of seventeen to become a rock 'n roll star--and vowed never to look back. Now, at thirty-four, she's little more than a down-and-out singer who smokes and drinks too much and knows better than to make promises she can't keep. Dumped by her latest band and low on cash, Tallie has no choice but to go back to Denver. Back to her crazy mother, and her resentful younger sister, Jane, who's never forgiven her for leaving.
But seeing her family again after all these years stirs something unexpected in Tallie. And after so many miles on that long, exhilarating, scary--and often lonely--road, she's looking back to trace some wrong turns, and figure out the way to where she really wants to go...

Paperback. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a nick at the bottom of the front panel and the lightest wear to the extremities; a tiny "x" above the scan code at the lower rear panel; the pages have tanned slightly, due to aging. The binding shows barely discernible lean, while remaining perfectly secure; text clean. No longer absolutely pristine, but remains very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 331pp. NAL Accent Conversation Guide Included. Trade Paperback. Tallie Beck smokes too much, drinks too much and runs away too much. She ran away from home at age seventeen to escape her mother's mental illness and instinctively continues running from anything or anyone that threatens the emotional armor she proactively wears.Her sharp wit and innate singing talent keep her afloat while she pursues her dream of becoming a rock-and-roll star, the elusive prize she believes will somehow bring her the validation she deserves. In fact, music is the only thing that makes unequivocal sense in Tallie's life, and to her delight, it is a convenient reason to keep moving, from city to city, gig to gig, relationship to relationship. Eventually, her luck runs out, and at age thirty four, divorced, fired from her latest band and broke, Tallie is crossing the country in her old beat-up car back home to Denver. There she will face the only job her agent could get for her, singing in a tacky piano bar, and the mother and sister she abandoned seventeen years ago whom she will now have to rely on, and somehow tolerate, until she's back on her feet again. To her amazement, Tallie learns that her mother's mental illness is now effectively controlled by medication, and her little sister is now a grown woman, married and the mother of a nine year-old daughter. Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is Tallie. She reassures herself Denver is just a temporary stop until something better comes along. As she struggles to make sense of her life, revive her career and reconnect with her family, Tallie is startled and comforted by the resurgence of her imaginary childhood guardian, Big Gal Sal, Queen of the Delta Blues, who coerces Tallie into viewing her life and relationships from a new perspective. If Tallie can achieve that, she may finally grow up. Beautifully written and accented with just the right amount of back story, Riding with the Queen is an insightful tale about family dynamics in the shadow of mental illness, acceptance, and understanding. Though the subject matter is serious, Tallie is a fun, witty character you'll enjoy getting to know. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 42853
