The 13th Configuration - Diane Lyoness

The 13th Configuration is a human interest story of struggle, survival and resilience. It is the memoirs of an introverted child who was abandoned by her father, molested by her step-father and forced to deal with adult issues. Her coping mechanism was to reinvent her persona when faced with a new challenge. Each time her world was shattered a new way of being was configured. A terrible car crash at age 13 almost ended her life and changed the unfolding of her future. Her memoir is disarmingly honest and entertaining, woven with both grief and humour.
