Rush and Roulette is a raw and poetic memoir by Tina Marie, a woman who learned to hold beauty and brokenness in the same breath. Set in the Deep South, this story traces her journey from a spirited little girl in a house full of secrets to a grown woman fighting to reclaim her voice, her body, and her joy.
Tina writes with gripping honesty and lyrical power as she revisits the truths no one dared to name-childhood trauma, family silence, spiritual confusion, and the ache of being both seen and overlooked. Through it all, she survived. And in her survival, she found God, rhythm, motherhood, deep love, and finally... herself.
This memoir doesn't flinch. It dances. It prays. It bleeds. It heals.
If you've ever had to rise from the wreckage, If you've ever held love and pain in the same palm, If you've ever been the strong one who secretly broke- This book is for you.
Rush and Roulette is more than a life story. It's a sacred offering. A mirror. A reminder that no matter what you've been through, your truth still deserves to be told-and your healing is holy.
