Undoing crazy

"Carla Sinclair has always done as she was told. She's been a dutiful daughter, a loyal friend, and a dedicated teacher to her special education students. But lately, Carla's grown tired of it all. There's an emptiness and ache in her heart that makes her question whether she should live--or not. No one seems to care what Carla wants--not the fine brother she meets at the Lucky Lounge, not her mama, not even her best girl, Dana. No one knows Carla's heart but the audacious young performer named Queen. Set near Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, Undoing Crazy is full of culture and truths learned for unexpected places"--P.
