Vernon, B.C., Canada – Author, singer and songwriter C. L. Souley is excited to announce the launch of her memoir, The Hornets’ Nest: Coming Full Circle, in which she describes her life growing up and coming of age in rural Canada. Raised by alcoholic parents, Souley’s life took one dramatic turn after another, before finally realizing that alcohol was at the root of her family’s discontent and a lifetime of bad decisions.
After several marriages, multiple career changes and decades of soul searching, Souley has finally found peace in her life, settling in Vernon, B.C. She wrote her memoir not only as a catharsis to heal from her own experiences, but also to help others caught in similar, self-defeating patterns.
“I lived my life outside of myself, seeking ways to fill the holes in my soul…I never knew I was co-creator in my own misery,” the author said in a recent interview. “Writing my story has healed me in ways that have surpassed my own understanding. I want to share that healing with others, so that they might find their own paths to recovery.”
