Lyla

Lyla

Sean Dietrich is an artful storyteller, who â€œwrites with humor, dripping Southern charm that you canâ€™t miss.â€ (The Greenville Examiner). Now, in this 2014 novel, Dietrich tells a coastal Southern tale topped with sentiment, smiles, and love.

Lyla unerringly evokes the life of a troubled family, and the love that grows in it. Quinn must learn how to exist in his mother's troubled world, without being consumed by her selfishness. Written with fervor and affection for a wounded past, Lyla is an intense and personal epic about a restless woman, and the children caught in her spurring draft.

Set during the Great Depression, on the upper coast of Florida, this touching story is about growing up in an achingly anguished household, and finding a way to survive. A stirring memoir that delivers the reader to a sepia-tinted world that is heartbreaking, at times shocking, and triumphant.
