Suzanne reviewed Intelligently-written memoir about addiction on
Helpful Score: 1
Heather King became addicted to alcohol since her first sip of beer at age thirteen. She was not an abused or neglected child, she simply liked the way alcohol made her feel (at first). The memoir is hazy at times, but that is to be expected. Always interesting, the book chronicles the years she wasted away as a drunk while somehow getting through college and law school. Highly personal and meaningful.
