I heard about this on a FRESH AIR podcast, and was surprised the library had it.
Read in two days; long walks and reading/recovering from hernia procedure.

"Hepola’s wry voice stays on the sane side of raw but doesn’t relinquish any power of authenticity as she casts a light on her own bad decisions as well the fact we now live in a culture where women getting tipsy or drunk is considered a sign of female empowerment".
Female Empowerment is what I enjoyed/interested me the most, and I'm not so sure that she really answered that question. Is it really 'Empowerment' to be blasted and taken advantage of????
She's barely five and a half feet tall....Can any kind of reckless behavior on her part be considered 'empowering'?
She had a 17 year old cat that she got from an ex-boyfriend. He was an 'outside' cat, but never forgot his 'inside roots'. Near the end of his life she got a leash and they transversed the wilds together. I'm a sucker for anyone who loves and loves a cat.
One of the many sobriety tales, from here and back. This was one of the better ones.
Excellent podcast by the author-
