The story of Ottawa-local Kim Mansfield, "Danced in my Brain" tells the story of her multiple bouts with addiction and recovery, the fight to care for her daughter, and the various processes and victories and failures in the life of an addict, recovered or no.

This was stirring reading, but at times the presentation and immediacy can feel a bit off. That said, as a memoir, that's the reality: life doesn't exactly exist on a well-plotted scope with rises and falls that create a natural cadence.
