Praise for SOLA
“A riveting voyage of self-discovery. Daughter of a Hollywood writer and publicist whose life was forever changed by McCarthyism, motherless by age nine, Appleton spent her preteen years traveling the Continent with her father—Italy, Ibiza, the Canary Islands—as he scouted for gigs and writing havens, then her college days in hippie-era California. Her prose, at once rich and precise, brings everywhere and everyone to life. There are moments when you’ll hold your breath. You will want to make this journey with her.”
Wendy Salinger, author of Folly River and Listen: A Memoir
“Appleton reminds us our childhood experiences can be the prequel to our adult lives, unless we intentionally flip the script. Moving, witty, wicked, and at times wrenching, I can’t wait to see the movie!”
Aviva Romm MD, New York Times-bestselling author of Hormone Intelligence
