About the Book

Diana drinks with the confidence that she'll never be an alcoholic. Alcohol makes its entrance early in her life as she sees its miraculous power to bring peace to her incessantly quarreling parents. It follows her on a trip to New Jersey where she gets into her first trouble because she steps out for a drink with her the lover of her hostess who she later learns is her older sister's boyfriend. In college she is vilified by students protesting an editorial she wrote deploring the behavior of drunken frat brothers. She finds her future husband in a dance hall attached to a liquor store. Once married, she discovers how lonely it is to be left with two children as her naval aviator husband is gone for months at a time. Drinking becomes her consolation. And so it goes throughout her early life as she loses control of her drinking and the ability to forestall consequences that bring remorse and threaten her sanity.
