Pieces of the Life I Lost is a raw, darkly humorous memoir of survival, motherhood, mental illness, and redemption. Through suicide attempts, psych ward stays, felony charges, custody battles, poverty, and betrayal, the author shares an unflinching portrait of a life shattered and pieced back together—again and again. With brutal honesty and sharp wit, she navigates the wreckage of family, the chaos of a broken mind, and the quiet triumph of healing. At its heart, this is a story about fighting like hell for your children, finding unexpected love, and learning to live—even when it all feels impossible.

Lisa is a mother, survivor, and unapologetic truth-teller. With a voice both darkly funny and deeply vulnerable, she writes about mental illness, trauma, and the messy, beautiful process of healing. She has lived through fire—literally and figuratively—and come out the other side with scars, strength, and a fierce love for her children. When she's not writing, she’s spending time with her family, spoiling her grandson, and embracing the calm after a lifetime of storms. This is her first memoir.
Lisa finds peace in the chaos with her two dogs, two bearded dragons, and the unwavering love of her wife and kids, whose support made this book possible. This is her story—but it’s also a story for anyone who’s ever felt lost, silenced, or forgotten.
