Synopsis
*Two-time National Indie Excellence Award recipient* An occupational therapist, yoga instructor and mother of three confronts him, “We need to talk. It's about your drinking.” Conveying to an emperor of denial that he's not wearing any clothes, will deliver the same result as a hand grenade with a loose pin—it's gonna blow!—hence a SWAT team on the lawn.
Psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of guts and wit as our femme protagonist Jessica navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism, legal chaos from the incident, crazy betrayal, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer (that always goes well), and whatever else a narcissist can hurl. To help break her chains of codependency, therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix offer take-away insights as sharp as the NY doc's shoes. A vibrant, playful re-emergence is captured as Jess is pursued by a millionaire, tries dating a woman and then, there's the hot young contractor. Particularly meaningful are the community members: neighbor, lawyer, judge, hairstylist, Vietnam vet, waitress, and real estate broker who each create a link towards this endearing family's wellness.
SHOT GLASS is an intimate and inspiring memoir of courage, compassion and altruism with touches of humor in unexpected places. See why readers claim, I couldn't put this book down!
