Audiobook LYME LIGHT is Released

"Orange is the New Black" star Natasha Lyonne lends her unmistakable voice to the newly released audiobook version of Natalie London's groundbreaking memoir Lyme Light.

Lyme Light is a dark, offbeat memoir that delves into the sharp mind of a girl who grew up on iconic 90's television reruns. Nearing graduation from Columbia University and traveling to meet with some of the country's biggest record labels, musician London's world was suddenly obliterated by the smallest bite of a tick.

Bedridden for nearly three years with Lyme Disease, London takes the reader into a world of losing and regaining her memory along with her ability to walk, talk, read and write. London's dark humor and tongue-in-cheek wit is a perfect fit for Lyonne's intimately worn and signature voice.

Through what Tori Spelling describes as "startling vulnerability and undeniable charm," Lyme Light delves into London's heartbreaking and terrifying journey while paying homage to pop culture's key role in keeping her company during her darkest hours.

"Reruns of Roseanne provided me with the solace of a complete fictional family as IVs ran through tubes laced up to my heart each night until I fell asleep," London explained. "Beverly Hills 90210 replayed on the screen above the hyperbaric oxygen chambers each afternoon, distracting me as I lay alone in that tube for hours with my complete group of fictional friends."

Moved by London's story and their indirect role in her recovery, the original casts of Beverly Hills 90210 and Roseanne have rallied around London's work.

Roseanne Barr describes Lyme Light as "A fascinating story about acceptance, survival, and determination."

Such overwhelming public support has been joined by stars ranging from Sara Gilbert to Jason Priestley.

Natalie London is also the songwriter, lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist of her band, Hey, King! She has performed with artists including: The All-American Rejects, Aaron Embry, Youngblood Hawke, In the Valley Below and The Lonely Wild. You can follow her at https://twitter.com/Hey_King
