Sun Shower: Magic, Forgiveness and How I Learned to Bloom Where I Was Planted

by Victoria Fedden

After hanging up the stilettos in her scandalously funny debut memoir Amateur Night at the Bubblegum Kittikat, Victoria Fedden embarks on new (mis)adventures in her year-long quest for happiness, true love, and the chance to build a life she can be proud of. Along the way she starts a garden, fails at voodoo, endures several disastrous dates, sails through a few storms, and ultimately learns to navigate her way through the bizarre and beautiful world that teems beneath the ever-shining South Florida sun. Sun Shower is a humorous and heartfelt memoir about blooming where you’re planted, embracing your passions and forgiveness. It’s a story about learning to love yourself while finding the hidden magic in everyday life.

Loved this sequel to Amateur Night at the Bubblegum Kittikat! Victoria Fedden is funny and real - and her life in South Florida is drool worthy in a very normal way.
