Randi lives in Arizona, where she tries not to melt before November. She has taken her life-altering disability as an opportunity to focus on her love of writing, hoping it becomes lucrative one day to help support her book habit. Her favorite hobby is attempting to read more books than she did the previous year.
Any time I pick up a book about addiction and recovery, I do so with equal parts hope and trepidation. Despite our differences, I understood Natalie fully and completely from the get-go.
Jacobus nailed the struggle with addiction, she nailed physical limitations, she nailed alcoholic and disability-related depression, she nailed the chaos of the active alcoholic, and she nailed the hopelessness and despair that can come from all of it.
