Publisher's Summary
An unforgettable, harrowing yet hilarious story about growing up in the midst of chaos by award-winning songwriter Aimee Mayo. Mayo is one of the few females to receive both BMI's Country Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year awards, putting her in the rare company of Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift. Her songs have sold more than 155 million units worldwide and have spent 26 weeks at number one on the Billboard charts.
Aimee Mayo grew up in deep Alabama, rocked by the blow of a drunk man's fist before she even made it out of the womb. Her colorful and charismatic father went from a gambling janitor to a multimillionaire but died homeless. Her mother was wonderful when she wasn't popping pain pills like M&M's, and her stepdad made a weird science out of psychological abuse. Throughout her teens, Aimee survived by writing compulsively in diaries, dreaming of becoming a songwriter, and finding her soulmate.
After accidentally burning down her house - just one in a series of disasters - at 20 years old she found herself lost with no path to the life she had always longed for. She tried to kill herself and almost succeeded. Finally, Aimee made it to Nashville. She started out a waitress, married to a wife-beating country singer, but never lost sight of her dreams. Talking to the Sky is her unforgettable memoir, the harrowing and hilarious story of believing in faith over fear and going after your dreams when everything is going against you.

Honest, Optimistic and Beautifully told Memoir
I loved this book. It was hard to listen to at times (because of the type of experiences Aimee has had). I found it refreshing that she told the stories as if we were having a conversation, not reading polished novel. I knew nothing Aimee or her family but feel better for knowing it now.
