"A unique, dual memoir of alcoholism, a disease that affects nearly 45 million Americans each year. People who suffer from alcoholism as well as their families and friends know that while it is possible to get sober, there is no one "right" way to do this. Now, award-winning mystery writer Martha Grimes and her son, Ken Grimes, offer two points of view on their struggles with alcoholism. In alternating chapters, they share their stories--stories of drinking, recovery, relapse, friendship, travel, work, success, and failure. This candid memoir describes how different both the disease and the recovery can look in two different people--even two people who are mother and son. An intensely personal and illuminating book, filled with insights, humor, a little self-deprecation, and a lot of self-evaluation"--Provided by publisher.
