Summary
This powerful memoir chronicles how the author became her drinking self, spending over 20 years in a cycle of drinking and self-loathing. From highly functioning alcoholic to living in dive bars, King's painful and poignant story tells how she evolved, stopped, and changed her life.
First line
It was September 1986, right after I'd returned to Boston from my week in Nashville, when my mother started calling to badger me about the party she was planning for my father's birthday.
