Too Much Lip The Erratics
Kerry Salter has spent a lifetime avoiding two
things - her hometown and prison. But now
her Pop is dying so she heads south on a stolen
Harley. Gritty and darkly hilarious, Too Much
Lip offers redemption and forgiveness where
none seems possible. The Erratics is a ferocious, sharp, darkly funny
and wholly compelling memoir of families, the
pain they can inflict and the legacy they leave. It
has the tightly coiled, compressed energy of an
explosive device - it will take your breath away.
