Dark and Stormy Memoir; Beautifully Breathtaking.

I don't normally read memoirs, but after reading the description for this title I knew I had to request it! I tend to gravitate toward stories where there is hardship or adversity. In this particular novel, addiction is what is discussed. Addiction has destroyed so many families, yet isn't discussed in candor. This book gives a voice to a community that is so often overlooked and cast away as being less than. While stigmas are being shattered everyday, there is still much work to be done.

I really enjoyed how much honesty was in this book. Rose Anderson shares a horrifying story of how her younger sister Sarah died of an overdose. With the opioid epidemic growing ever more fierce in this country, we need more stories like this. Real, true, powerful voices that bring this dark subject to life.

Five stars. Bravo.
