Best Kept Secret

I really liked this book. I could identify with the real, honest portrayal of a woman new to sobriety and a mother divided by feelings of inadequacy. As a recovering alcoholic. The raw struggle to stay sober was conveyed. I was captivated by this book of hope.

When I first started reading the book, I found it a little dull and actually put it down for a while. I picked it up again later and started reading and it got more interesting. What I soon discovered was that the dullness in the beginning was actually the feeling of numbness that an alcoholic feels, total void of emotion. I was identifying with her feelings and story. As an alcoholic woman and mother living in recovery, I found myself relating page after page on her journey of recovery. I kept thinking to myself about the main character was that you are exactly where you should be. I think anyone close to someone in recovery or anyone in recovery would get a great deal out of reading it. I felt a total connection to the main character and thoroughly enjo yed the book
