Description
Born during World War II, Marilee Eaves long struggled to fit into the New Orleans elite, the secret Mardi Gras societies that rule the city and into which she is born. Then, as a Wellesley sophomore, she’s hospitalized at McLean psychiatric hospital, where she begins to realize how much of herself she’s sacrificed to blend into and be accepted by an exclusionary white Uptown New Orleans culture.
In Singing Out Loud, Eaves reveals how she learns to stand on her own two feet, to find a way to be grounded and evolved amid NOLA culture. Along the way, she wrestles with bipolar disorder, alcoholism, and the consequences of her own poor choices. Raw and funny, this book offers hope and encouragement to those who are willing to be vulnerable and laugh at themselves as they embrace who they truly are.
