"For those of us wrestling with demons—and who isn't?—Lush is a solace as powerful as red wine." —CLAIRE DEDERER, bestselling author of Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning
When Kerry Cohen reached her early forties, she realized she had a drinking problem—just enough to blur the edges of her life that had become a monotony of working, carpooling the kids to school, and everyday distractions. What she also realized was that she wasn't the only one.
Lush is a gripping memoir that examines Kerry's struggles with alcohol, a struggle that a rising number of middle-aged women are facing today, as alcohol dependency among females drastically increases. A wonderfully poignant and relatable follow-up to her bestselling memoir Loose Girl, Lush follows Kerry as she attempts to rediscover the awe in her life, leaving mistakes, regrets, and the bottle behind her.
