• Running in Slippers is a clear-eyed, vulnerable, and unrelenting chronicle of mental illness, suicide, trauma, and toxic relationships. After the death of her estranged father and the end of a relationship, Angie moves to Hawaii for a fresh start. There, she tries her best to rally and connect with her authentic self—a self she’s never really known after a life riddled with uncertainty and anxiety. However, Angie soon learns that a change of place doesn’t fix her problems. Nor does it fundamentally change who she is. While she is happier in Hawaii in many ways, she still carries the weight of an unfinished and unexamined past. In a new relationship fraught with shadows from the start, Angie begins to unravel. What follows is a devotional to hope and self-love; an aspirational examination of the power joy, humour, and of well-placed rage.

  • What a rollercoaster of a book! I found myself rooting and laughing with Angie, and then turning around screaming, 'What are you doing?!' This book is raw, real, and gets ugly but, in the end, that's what made it worth reading.
