Melissa DeCarlo Biography

Melissa DeCarlo looked around and discovered that she was all grown-up with a degree in computer science and working in an office where she had to wear panty hose every day. The Art of Crash Landing tells the story of Mattie Wallace. Broke and knocked up she's got all her worldly possessions crammed into six giant trash bags and nowhere to go. Try as she might Mattie can no longer deny that she really is turning into her mother a broken alcoholic who never met a bad choice she didn't make. When Mattie gets news of a possible inheritance left by a grandmother she's never met she jumps at this one last chance to turn things around. Leaving the Florida Panhandle she drives 800 miles to her mother's birthplace -- the tiny town of Gandy Oklahoma. There she soon learns that her mother remains a local mystery -- a happy talented teenager who inexplicably skipped town thirty-five years ago with nothing but the clothes on her back. But the girl they describe bears little resemblance to the damaged woman Mattie knew and before long it becomes clear that something terrible happened to her mother and it happened here. The harder Mattie digs for answers the more obstacles she encounters. Giving up however isn't an option. Uncovering what started her mother's downward spiral might be the only way to stop her own.
