  • Carly Israel on Her Memoir "Seconds and Inches"

    Send us Fan Mail

    A child of alcoholics and grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Carly Israel struggles to conceal her addictions and self-hatred – a path that can only end in death or sobriety. She embarks on a journey to healing but faces a new set of challenges when her youngest child develops life threatening medical issues.

     Throughout Seconds and Inches are thank you letters that Israel writes to loved ones and supportive friends, but also to schoolyard bullies and unkind strangers, all of whom have taught her crucial lessons and helped her become the person she is: “a badass, sparkly, lit-up, on fire, brutally honest, potty-mouthed, tattooed woman.

     Praised by Jennifer Pastiloff as a “haunting and beautiful” memoir, Seconds and Inches is a story of recovery and transformation, and a thoughtful reflection on generational trauma, gratitude, and forgiveness.
