Like Room, where parenthood is at once your jail and your salvation, it is almost claustrophobic--but in the most glorious way."--Lisa Taddeo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three Women and Animal This visceral and brave portrait of addiction, recovery, and motherhood is as harrowing as Shuggie Bain. Sonya, once a performer who thrived in glamorous settings, now grapples with the darkness of addiction. The vibrant life she led has faded, replaced by blackouts and empty cupboards. The one constant in her life is her son, Tommy, whose presence keeps her tethered to hope. However, her love for him clashes with her dependence on alcohol, creating a cycle of fear and self-doubt. Each misstep drives her deeper into addiction, as she battles the terrifying possibility of losing Tommy. Ultimately, Sonya faces a heartbreaking decision: give up drinking or risk losing her son forever. This emotional tour-de-force offers a devastating yet hopeful exploration of an addict's journey toward rehabilitation and redemption.
