Overview

Yes, Storm Large is her real name, though she's been called many things. As a performer, the majority of descriptions have led with Amazon, powerhouse, a six-foot Vargas pinup come to life. Playboy called her a punk goddess. You'd never know she used to be called Little S --the mini-me to her beautiful and troubled mother, Suzi. Little S spent most of her childhood visiting her mother in mental institutions and psych wards. Suzi's diagnosis changed with almost every doctor's visit, ranging from schizophrenia to bipolar disorder to multiple personality disorder to depression. One day, nine-year-old Little S jokingly asked one of her mother's doctors, I'm not going to be crazy like that, right? To which he replied, Well, yes. It's hereditary. You absolutely will end up like your mother. But not until your twenties. Storm's story of growing up with a mental time bomb hanging over her veers from frightening to inspiring, sometimes all in one sentence. But her strength, charisma, and raw musical talent gave her the will to overcome it all. Crazy Enough is a love song to the twisted, flawed parts in all of us.

Like some twisted love child of Mae West and Keith Richards, Storm Large is a force of nature. Her ballsy, heartbreaking, hysterical tour de force of a memoir is not to be missed. Crazy Enough is vulgar and fragile, tragic and empowering, and like Storm, it is always entertaining. - - Chelsea Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Heartsick and The Night Season

A most moving and entertaining memoir...The story is edgy, gritty, and fearless, and leaves little to the imagination as large presents a no-holds barred journey through her formative years and into adulthood. -- The Portland Observer

Frank, funny, and caustically un-self-pitying -- Publisher's Weekly
