One womans journey to the bottom of the bottleand back.In this tragicomic memoir about alcoholism as spiritual thirst, Heather Kingwriter, lawyer, and National Public Radio commentatordescribes her descent into the depths of addiction. Spanning a decadeslong downward spiral, Kings harrowing story takes us from a smalltown New England childhood to hitchhiking across the country to a cockroachridden artists loft in Boston. Waitressing at evershabbier restaurants, deriving what sustenance she could from books, she became a morning regular at a wetbraindrunks barand that was after graduating from law school.Saved by her family from the abyss, King finally realized that uniquely poetic, sensitive, and profound though she may have been, she was also a bigtime mess. Casting her lot with the rest of humanity at last, she learned that suffering leads to redemption, that personal pain leads to compassion for others in pain, and, above all, that a sense of humor really, really helps.
