2.. Leeza McAuliffe Has Loads More To Say

Then there’s her brother, Spike. She could write pages and pages about his annoyingness. So far, so normal, right? But unbeknownst to her, huge changes are on the way. Changes she doesn’t want, and can’t control. Leeza keeps writing, keeps recording her days, and tries to make sense of the ups and downs.
