The author reveals how, shortly after giving birth to a child she adored, she drank herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide before a spiritual awakening led her to sobriety.

I enjoy reading memoirs and enjoyed Mary Karr's very much. So much so, I plan to read at least her first memoir (The Liar's Club) and maybe her second (Cherry).
I may not have understood every complex word the author used, but enough to get a feel for the events she wrote about and even more importantly, the emotions involved with being a wife, mother, daughter, as well as an alcoholic.
