Shot Glass: One woman's fight to save her kingdom A raw, powerful memoir

An occupational therapist, yoga instructor and mother of three - has been forced to kick some ass. She said, "We need to talk; it's about your drinking..." which leads to a real-life cat and mouse chase culminating with a SWAT team on their front lawn.
Alcoholism: The CDC reported that more than 15 million people in the US struggled with alcohol use disorders, but fewer than 8% received treatment (January 2018). Gun violence: According to the US Justice Department, 4 million women were threatened by a firearm; 1 million of whom were actually shot or shot at during the incident (January 2019). She was up against both in her own home. Something had to give.
Pulling no punches and without emotional letup, psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of guts and wit as she navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism and "the incident", deceit in many forms, abandonment, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer, real estate nightmares and therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix who offers take-away insights as sharp as her shoes. Playful dialogue captures a vibrant, reemergence as she is pursued by a millionaire, dates a woman, and cougar-dates the hot young contractor.
SHOT GLASS is an immersive memoir of courage, compassion, forgiveness and altruism. Everyone deserves a chance at sobriety, wellness and a path free from judgements. As a woman and mother of an endearing family, that will be tested.
