I felt so many emotions while reading this collection of essays, being in recovery myself. It took me back and made me reflect on my own journey with addiction, the bad the ugly, my rock bottom, and now my recovery. It’s made me consider going to meetings to build my sober support system, to further help me stay on the right track. What I appreciate about this book is that James doesn’t shy away from any aspect of what it’s like to be an addict/alcoholic. I’ve also learned more about AA meetings so now I’m more intrigued to go to them! I highly recommend this book!

Haunting. In reading this novel, one can only admire the author's insane strength to overcome an endless tragic past. Showing that hope is slow and quiet, but steady in growth.

Powerful book. Really makes you think. Kept my interest the whole way thru.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
