Description:Psychological noir that breathes like a jazz record. “Uncomfortable, occasionally overwhelming, and undeniably powerful… Skinless offers something rare: a portrait of survival that doesn’t sanitize the mess.”— BookLife by Publishers Weekly“Lyrical and unflinchingly honest… Perfect for readers who love the raw brilliance of The Bell Jar and the restless energy of Kerouac.” — Goodreads ReviewStreet poetry. Beauty. Danger. Survival.At the edge of a new millennium in New York City, fresh from teenage homelessness and childhood abuse, Charmay—a street‑smart, velvet‑voiced singer‑songwriter—develops a glittering alter ego, Cindy, to survive the raw vulnerability she calls being “skinless.”Over two turbulent years, chasing the American Dream through a maze of small‑time hustles and nightlife shadows, Charmay is pulled into a dangerous game of secrets, lies, and power. As the music stops and the masks begin to ricochet into beats, bullets, and betrayal, it’s never clear who is really in control—or who is using whom.By the final chorus, Skinless becomes a visceral evocation of turn‑of‑the‑century America—the times we live in and the forces we live by—as Charmay fights between the mask that kept her alive and the honest voice that could make her whole.For readers of Milkman, Cherry, In the Cut, The Basketball Diaries, The Bell Jar, and the cinematic atmosphere of Lost Highway, Blue Valentine, and Exotica.THE MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE:* Companion Album: Skinless: Songs from the Book.
