Middle-aged mom Angel won’t be winning any Mother of the Year awards. Not after plundering her daughter’s inheritance money, then dragging her from one disastrous living situation to the next, desperately trying to win her way out of their circumstances by gambling away every paycheck. When homelessness and hunger loom ominously on the horizon, Angel must dig deep inside to find a way to conquer the demon of addiction that’s got their Tilt-A-Whirl life spinning wildly out of control. Drawing strength and courage from her daughter’s unconditional love and unflagging faith in her, Angel fights to beat the odds and prevail in this winner-takes-all battle of spirit-versus-ego, with a grand prize of sanity, security, and maybe a shot at happiness. In a sometimes sordid, often amusing tale of self-destruction and spiritual redemption, Angel discovers exactly what it takes to become a ‘soul survivor.’
