Toxic Nursery

Welcome to our mindscape. It's a tragic, triumphant, and brutally hilarious place to be...

Honeysuckle wants love any way she can get it. If that means constantly falling for predators, at least it feels good. And with her hell-bent on a stubborn stiletto-stumble down a path of self-destructive debauchery, Management struggles to contain the chaos.

Alicia isn't going under without taking the whole world with her. Arriving during her teens from the smoldering embers of forgotten nightmares, the furious alter battles to drive away everybody in the Reality Show to establish safety.

As Honeysuckle and Alicia catapult everyone through terrifyingly toxic, madcap misadventures, can they stop hating each other long enough to heal?

In an original semi-autobiographical novel parodying the misery memoir, Carlie Martece explores the horrifying and hysterical truth of living with a dissociative identity disorder triggered by childhood abuse. With superb storytelling aimed through the sharp lens of macabre humor, they invite anyone struggling with self-acceptance to find hope in their wonderfully demented and courageous quest to love themselves. Toxic Nursery is the first book in the Constructed Sanity dark comedy series.

If you enjoy fascinatingly complex heroines, hard-won triumphs over trauma, and twisted absurdity, then you'll be blown away by Carlie Martece's beautifully authentic journey.
