Randall Grange has been tricked into admitting herself into a treatment center and she doesn t know why. She's not a party hound like the others in her therapy group but then again, she knows she can't live without pills or booze. Raised by an abusive father, a detached mother, and a loving aunt and uncle, Randall both loves and hates her life. She's awkward and a misfit. Her parents introduced her to alcohol and tranquilizers at a young age, ensuring that her teenage years would be full of bad choices, and by the time she's twenty-three years old, she s a full-blown drug addict, well acquainted with the miraculous power chemicals have to cure just about any problem she could possibly have and she's in more trouble than she's ever known was possible.
Wright deftly and insightfully describes how a life can spiral toward addiction and rehab. The story is raw and touching and I found myself rooting for Randall as she navigates redemption and sobriety. A gritty and honest read. Susie Orman Schnall, award-winning author of "On Grace" and "The Balance Project" Wright dares to stomp where others only lightly tread, and does so with grace, craft, and an unusual ease. This is not a sob story about abuse, damage, and addiction, it s a story of how bravery, self-recognition, and the desire for happiness slap the former in the face and gleam with hope. A great read and lesson for anyone who s been there, hopes to get elsewhere, or simply needs to read a story that resonates. Maria Kostaki, author of "Pieces: A Novel""
