Sequel to Walk Until Sunrise. (has a brief recap if you didn't read the first memoir, so it can stand alone)
Mercy's View: Blackout chronicles the ultimate case of faking it till you make it. A teen runaway suffering from dissociative amnesia fights her way back into society in hopes of chasing her dreams and finding true love.
After her runaway experience at age 15, Heather returns home and immediately realizes she has made a terrible mistake in doing so. She hatches an escape plan that snowballs into an adult game of make-believe on steroids. First, she lies her way out of high school and into a live-in nanny job. Then Heather saves up money and convinces her mother she has been accepted to the University of Minnesota. Mother and daughter embark on a cross-country drive from California to Minnesota. At last Heather begins her life as an independent young woman.
Set against the backdrop of the 1980s Minneapolis gay bar scene, work at a Chinese restaurant, and student life at a music school, Heather recklessly reenters society as she pursues her musical dreams and love-this time for real.
A story about survival, overcoming, and the pursuit of happiness.
