Description
An uplifting, emotionally powerful tale of a woman trying to conquer her pill addiction—and the support she finds along the way. While her children are away, Olivia Clarke wants to take the opportunity to confront an issue she’s been in denial about for too long. Her use of sedatives has become a problem—and she’s going to admit herself to a psychiatric hospital to get to the root of her stubborn addiction. It’s time to finally turn her life around. A boyfriend who’s also an addict, a family who don’t understand mental illness, children who compound her sense of failure and guilt—all add to the difficulties on the rocky road to recovery. But Olivia quickly makes friends at the facility. Soon, she can’t help getting caught up in the lives of the others in this close-knit group. What’s causing Hannah’s depression? Why is Bette convinced she has cancer, no matter what the doctors tell her? Is there more to Poxy’s story about his dead son than he’s letting on? But while Olivia feels compelled to find the answers for everyone else, she still has to find the strength to face her own demons . . .
