Available on Amazon, Heidi Esther’s debut short memoir, For Cryin Out Loud, is a Jen-Sincero-meets-Melody-Beattie-style journey into self-awareness intertwined with provocative and humorous poetry that tries to metaphorically answer the question “how many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll pop?”
