Wicked hangovers. Scary blackouts. Ugly
fights with friends. The results of binge drinking weigh heavily on Lisa May
Bennett. She tries repeatedly to savor “just a few” glasses of wine—only to
find herself passed out on the couch again.
Lisa has a bucket list full of exciting adventures
with zero check marks next to them. Her anxiety and self-doubt are crying out
for real solutions, not more booze. And her dream of becoming a published
writer is fading away. She worries that her love of a good buzz will keep her
stuck in this rut. Can she take charge of her life, or is she headed for a
disastrous rock bottom?
This touching and funny memoir explores the childhood
experiences that paved the way for Lisa’s drinking habit. She examines her
complicated relationship with her mother, her experiences as a late bloomer,
and her ongoing search for validation. In an engaging and relatable voice, the author
shares how she began to “unfurl” without alcohol holding her back. But will she
stay sober and discover how to truly thrive?
Anyone wondering if they'll ever burst out and follow
their dreams will find My Unfurling compelling and hopeful.
