For fans of Aftershocks and How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America, a gripping and deeply honest memoir in essays, this debut collection sets out to answer the universal question of: Why am I like this?

At sixteen, Susanna Bolling is like America in rebellion; she craves independence. While her brothers are off fighting for the Patriots, she longs to do more than tedious household chores and attend spinning bees in sleepy City Point, Virginia. When British General Cornwallis invades her family's Bollingbrook Plantation, she overhears his secret plan to defeat the Patriots. Much to her shock, she finds herself at the center of the war. Now America's fight for liberty hinges on her.

Her life is the dream that many desire. She's the wife of a famous Army Ranger and the daughter-in-law of the Queen of R&B. She even owns a castle on a rock surrounded by mountains and lakes. But looks can be deceiving. Being married to the Menders has been no bed of roses. Yet, none of that matters now that her son is cancer free thanks to the Menders' son magic hands.
