Celeste F. (SisterGirl) reviewed on 8/9/2007 + 20 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 5

Several adjectives for this book come to mind: powerful, gripping, eye-opening, and alarming.

This is the true story of a woman alcholic and her travels through the disease of alcoholism.

A professional journalist, Knapp's story is like reading "The Lost Weekend". However, She is not skilled at turning a phrase and her writing is prosaic.

It is the story itself that keeps the pages turning. If your interest is in learning about alcoholism and the peculiar rational that sustains alcoholics down through the years, get this book.
