“Molly McKaughan’s poetry reading & book signing was deeply moving.”

“Molly had us in the palm of your hand. More than a few tears were shed and sighs went around the room as her touching and perceptive words fell upon our ears and into our hearts and souls.”

“It was a great evening last night—we think it was a huge success!  It is so different when someone speaks the poems. They were all heartfelt, it was very emotional for us.”

“The poems made me sad (but I smiled at the cardinal) and happy, too. I was there with your sobriety and with your heartbreak. Congratulations.”

“It truly touched me right to the core!  The emotions were so real.”

On April 29, 1995, I had my last drink. It was not a momentous occasion, and I didn't even drink that much that night, but in my head was a little voice saying, over and over: "Can I have more? Can I have more?" Even as I talked to a good friend, booze had me by the throat. On June 10th of that year I walked into my first AA meeting and found people of my own kind. People talked about alcohol in a way I understood and had never shared with another living soul. It was the first day of a journey of discovery, of connections, of pain, and through it all, I have not had to disappear down a bottle of booze. This book tells that journey in poetry.
