I Once Drowned is a memoir of the risks taken to save a loved one. Holly Cohen’s life is one of constant instability, continually shifting her identity to match her surroundings-California coast, recording studios, juvenile hall, correctional facilities, even drug dens. Through the comfort and betrayal of family, the joys and sorrows of friendship, and the passion and desertion of lovers, she slowly learns that she must be true to herself, whoever that may be. It is only when she’s pulled under that she can hear the silence, and only in that silence that she can hear herself. I Once Drowned is a story of rebellion, resilience, and rebirth.
