But instead of breaking, Lisa found something unexpected: courage with a mischievous streak - and a sense of humor sharp enough to slice through grief. Misadventures in My High Heels is Lisa Ramelow's unforgettable memoir of how she went from being terrified to talk to strangers to running one of Southern California's most beloved restaurants. Along the way, she tackled life's challenges with grit, sass, stilettos. and an occasional leap of faith worthy of a Hollywood stuntwoman. Experience the events that changed everything, including.

The moment her restaurant became a refuge after 9/11, packed with grieving customers seeking a place of comfort and community.
