Laying It All Out There

Alene Adele Sterling does not want to fall off the Rockies, freeze in a monster blizzard, or have any adventures at all.

But she went to Colorado anyway.

After twenty years of teaching, steady, reliable Professor Sterling flips out in front of her literature class. Time for a change?

Definitely! So when her dad starts cancer treatment, Alene has to brave-up to break out of her routine life. She flies to Colorado to buy cannabis where it is legal, and sneak it home to Texas, where it is not. Arriving at the height of the Green Rush, Alene discovers the glitzy world of pot dispensaries below the gritty streets of downtown Denver.

And when edibles work wonders for her dad, she reaches out to best friend Mitch, rebel sister Tessa, and super-genius Nolan to get more. But can Alene avoid being frisked, fired, and arrested? Find out!

Authentic, dramatic, and sparkling with laughter, Laying It All Out There shows you how to crush fear, hug friends, love family, and fight for what’s right.
