Her father was a hairdresser to the rich and famous - he was also their drug dealer.

Her mother was an alcoholic fashion model.

Her days and nights were non-stop parties - she spent them taking care of her little sister and putting out naked flames.

And when her sister dies aged nine, Gavanndra is left alone with her grief. Growing up in the dazzling days and dark nights of her parents' social lives, surviving means fitting into their dysfunctional world, while stopping the family from falling apart . . .
