review 1: The story is primarily about one woman's battle with alcohol addiction. It also touches on religion, interracial relationships, aging, mental illness, cognitive impairment, dysfunctional relationships to name a few. All woven together seamlessly into a powerful, engrossing story that will stay with me for a very long time. Lauren B. Davis is an amazing, skilled wordsmith whose writing plucked me out of my life into Colleen's life and had me living her "day from hell" by her side, page after page. I met Lauren before I read the book, she signed my copy with the words: “They don’t call it spirits for nothing” which at the time did not have any meaning to me. Now I get it and I loved finding out how those words related to Colleen!
review 2: real... morely captures the mental desperation and pain of alcoholism. takes place over one day in a character's life, and is elegantly written, by an author who has been there herself (as has this reader.) if you are not an alcoholic, reading this book could help you understand, and/or help, an alcoholic you know. if none of that applies, it's certainly a well-written novel and a quick read for fiction fans. if you happen to read this site ms davis, your book really took me on a ride within myself; i explored all the old lies and memories (it even tugged on the sinister bit of me that still wants to be off-leash, for a while) and am really glad to be on this side of the hedge. less
