Add a CommentI happened to pick up this book just to have something to read. Well, I was wonderfully surprised and enjoyed it so much. It touches on the reality of such a situation and shows her struggle. A must read!
Cadence had it all once – an adorable son, a successful husband and a promising career in freelance journalism. But everything changes once her divorce is finalized; she is struggling to make ends meet and has writer’s block. It all begins with a glass of wine - just one drink to take the edge off. Before long, it is no longer a glass but a bottle or two. Cadence does not realize how her “best kept secret” has taken over her life until her husband comes to take their son away. This third novel by Amy Hatvany details the ongoing journey of Cadence and her alcoholism. This haunting tale starts at the beginning of her addiction and realistically portrays the heartbreak of her child custody battle and the healing of her recovery. Along the way, secrets from her family’s past and new friends assist Cadence in her struggle for sobriety.
A great book about alcoholism and addiction and how it affects those around you.
