Thank God for Lemonade

In Thank God for Lemonade, author Teresa Corral takes us on a tumultuous journey. From a world of poverty, cruelty, and superstition in Mexico to a troubled and often solitary childhood including nine months in a state mental institution in California, and on to nightclubs in San Francisco, dancing for gangsters and stars. On her own and with little guidance, she yearns for love and becomes victim to abusive husbands, penniless days, depression, and alcoholism. We follow Teresa’s fascinating story as she struggles for sobriety, finds spirituality and a lasting relationship, and develops a creative life that allows her to turn lemons into lemonade. Thank God for Lemonade is a cautionary tale and a stirring first-hand account of a woman’s struggle to thrive in an age before feminism and contemporary knowledge of mental health, and then find fulfillment in a life forever haunted by the ghosts of her past. It’s a story you won’t easily forget.
