The Spark That Survived

Myra says, "This is a book about how to overcome life's worst tragedies and your own dumb-ass decisions." Married to her second cousin, rock-and-roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis, when she was only thirteen years old, her life became a roller coaster of happiness and despair, love and deceit, hopes and shattered dreams. In her own brand of unflinching, down-to-earth, humorous, poignant, Southern storytelling, Myra reveals how she crawled out of the darkness and came to stand in the light of building a new life for herself. Author of Great Balls of Fire, which was made into a movie starring Dennis Quaid and Winona Ryder, this is Myra's story many years later, a testament to the importance of perseverance. Her desire is to show women they are stronger than they know. If she could overcome her own misguided decisions and life's most tragic misfortunes, they can, too.
