A great story must entertain, inform or inspire, and this book does
all three. Susan Waits has created a dramatic narrative with
authentic characters that draw breath, laugh, cry, teach and learn
in vivid settings drawn from a deep well of personal experience.
The plot reflects the inexplicable and serendipitous twists and
turns of two women's lives as they come face to face with their
addiction to alcohol. Implicitly revealed are the iconic twelve
steps to recovery in the illustration and interplay among personal
intention, forgiveness, surrender and love. Claire Danner's life
was one call for "another round" after another. Finally, at the age
of sixty-eight, after decades of broken hearts and broken promises,
and a body ailing from self-abuse, she reluctantly succumbs to her
family's insistence to enter rehab. There she must face and conquer
the demons long suppressed by her self-administered anesthetic. In
the face of failing health and aged despair, will she emerge from
this crucible with another chance at love and life? From childhood
Grace was close to her "Momma Claire," and as a young adult
studying art at Rhodes College, she had an unconscious propensity
to overindulge. She wondered at times if she was on a collision
course with the same fate as her grandmother, a question that would
unexpectedly and suddenly be put to a life-struggling test. The
parallel journeys of grandmother and granddaughter weave together
and culminate in a joint pilgrimage that reveals a final,
life-altering surprise.
