Description
Amy Liz Harrison is one of recovery’s original new voices. She’s a mother of eight who has been sober since 2011. Harrison grew up in the Evangelical Christianity Movement of the 1980s, became a teacher, married an airline executive after knowing him for five months, and transitioned to a stay-at-home mom. She turned to alcohol to deal with horrific guilt that mothering alone wasn’t enough to fill her deep loneliness. Her memoir, Eternally Expecting: A Mom of Eight Gets Sober and Gives Birth to a New Life...Her Own is the story of how one woman went from soul-crushing brokenness to finding herself.

"When I first got sober Eternally Expecting is exactly the kind of book I needed. Only another mom in recovery understands the struggles of raising small kids while your life is spiraling. Amy's story is an honest, relatable and totally hilarious look at how wine culture destroys and sobriety rebuilds today's moms."
