Mambo Lips: A Memoir of a Girl who Found Strength in Being Different
"Mambo Lips has the community buzzing! Joie Lamar has, in a very short span, proven herself a polished writer, engaging, and one who writes from the heart."
~ On the Couch, LGBT community talk show, Ontario, Canada

"It put me in mind of a Neil Simon play or George Burns biography. Each chapter is a pearl onto itself. A fantastic story that keeps true to its description of an easy carry and read."
~ Richard Ryder, Radio host 103.9 Proud FM - Toronto, Ontario Canada

This is the story of a young girl growing up in a fun, vibrant and sometimes dysfunctional Latino household. Much like all lives, she experiences her share of illnesses, deaths, births, loves and losses. Joie faces all of these with a strength unlike most as she discovers her lesbian self. A fascinating story of a child's lesbian awakening, the power she derives from that, and her great love for her "Superhero" father and family. Mambo Lips is the first volume and introduction to the juicier sequel, titled Salsa Hips.
