It is one of my favorite post! My book review! Man how I love to get lost in a good book and this month did not disappoint! I only read three, but they were all amazing! The last one I tear up still thinking about it! WOW!!!!! So I just want to jump in because they were all so amazing!!!!!
My first read this month was Blackout: Remembering The Things I Drank To Forget by Sarah Hepola. This book was fascinating to me! Why? Well, first because it is a true story. A scary story, but a very courageous story that ends with hope. I chose this book because I was asked to attend a fundraiser/banquet at which Sarah would be speaking. So in true Amy form, I googled her and found out she wrote a book and decided I wanted to read it to get to know her. Man am I glad I did. To see and hear Sarah speak after reading her story was truly a blessing and one that I will always be thankful for. Sarah’s story is literally a story of her coming undone at the seams from the horrible disease of alcohol and finding strength, peace, love, and life in a sober life…..a life she faught against and one she did not want, but she has now and she is alive and she is amazing! Everyone who has been effected by this disease, whether personally, or through a friend or family member should get this book if nothing else, but to understand the hold this disease can have on a loved one, the lies this disease feeds a loved one, and the hope that a loved one can beat it.
