Description:
Already sloshed from one-too-many drinks at a faculty party, Leah Thornton cruises the supermarket aisles in search of something tasty to enhance her Starbucks-Kahlua, for example. Two confrontations later-one at the grocery store and the other with her friend Molly-Leah is sitting in the office of the local rehab center facing an admissions counselor who fails to understand the most basic things, like the fact that apple juice is not a suitable cocktail mixer. Rehab is no picnic, and being forced to experience and deal with the reality of her life isn't Leah's idea of fun. But through the battle she finds a reservoir of courage she never knew she had, and the loving arms of a God she never quite believed existed.
My Thoughts:
This was a good book. I appreciate the depth of the book and how it looked at more than just the struggle with alcoholism, but also the underlying reasons for her battle and the relationships around her. I wish I could see more of the outcome and know how her story continues now. I really appreciated Leah's friend Molly, too, and how brave she was to call her friend out and get her the help she needed. I look forward to reading more by Christa Allen!
