About this listen
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.

Now I know who Aimee Mayo is
I bought this book because of the write up stating it was a hilarious memior. There were definitely funny spots, and other spots were you were thinking that is not possible. The performance wasn't the best but it was from the heart. I truly enjoyed this book, I had a few chuckles and some tears for this girl who had such a hard time with life. Thank you Aimee for sharing your story.
