Shot Glass - Rochelle - Bog

*Two-time National Indie Excellence Award Finalist 2020* An occupational therapist, yoga teacher and mother of three confronts him. "We need to talk. It's about your drinking." Conveying to an emperor of denial that he's not wearing any clothes will deliver the same result as a hand grenade with a loose pin-it's gonna blow!-which helps to explain a maneuvering SWAT team in the yard.Without emotional let up, psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of raw guts and wit as she navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism, legal chaos from "the incident", unbelievable deceit, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer (that always goes well) and colorful therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix, who offers take-away insights as sharp as her shoes. A vibrant, playful reemergence is brought to light when she is pursued by a millionaire, tries dating a woman and then, there's the hot young contractor.SHOT GLASS is an intimate, immersive story of courage, compassion and altruism with a touch of humor in unexpected places about an endearing family. Everyone deserves a chance at sobriety, wellness and a path free judgements.NIEA 2020 Finalist Awards: Divorce and Addiction & Recovery.
