From Elliot Bay Bookstore:
RACHEL BROWNELL
Saturday, September 12 at 2 p.m.
Rachel Brownell, the mother of twins and a newborn, and suffering from postpartum depression, was using alcohol to cope and maintain a sense of herself as “more than mommy.” Gradually, she faced the truth about her alcoholism and found the help she needed to get sober. Her book, Mommy Doesn’t Drink Here Anymore: Getting Through the First Year of Sobriety (Conari Press), is part-memoir, and part-self-help book, providing hope, help, and support for a less visible part of the recovery community. “Brownell doesn’t pull any punches about the ugly side of her addiction, and her first year of sobriety is fraught with times where she felt lost, as if she were hanging on only by her fingernails, and overwhelmed by life without alcohol o help buffer it … There is no glowing happy ending, just the reality that life must be faced one day at a time.” – Library Journal.
Come see a local author and blogger! Hope to see you at Elliot Books Saturday.
