Betsy's guest today, Adele Bertei, is a versatile artist with talents spanning writing, singing, songwriting, and directing. She's here to discuss her latest memoir, "TWIST: AN AMERICAN GIRL." In this book, written under the pseudonym Maddie Twist, Adele candidly shares her challenging journey of growing up in an abusive home, navigating foster care, and facing the justice system, all while coming to terms with her identity as a gay woman during the 1960s and 1970s when such topics were often shrouded in silence.
