each read, plane read, Summer read, this quick, engaging page turner—from beginning to end—is told with straight-forward courage.

  Diamond Dust is the memoir of how a young person’s talent ran away with itself, careening off into one unexpected adventure after another. With humor and introspection, it is a story of hubris and redemption, of talent and conscience, of art and absolution—and how life can lead us to second chances—at finding our better selves.
