I am glad the author was able to get her life together--that's definitely something to be proud of.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-79112876106578464072009-09-10T12:40:35.948-04:002009-09-10T12:40:35.948-04:00I think it's hard for those of us who don'...I think it's hard for those of us who don't have problems with alcohol and drugs to realize just how difficult it is for an addict to give them up.

I think really it shows their talent - it's like actors being a horrible person I guess. But still, I think if I wrote I would have to "fix" everybody right away! Especially since it is so much easier to do on paper than in real life!!! :--)rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-21796324966103053232009-09-10T08:21:40.580-04:002009-09-10T08:21:40.580-04:00Brave gal, but I am not much for memoirs really.
