Powerless: A Memoir: The Girl Takes the Drink, The Drink Takes the Girl
I used to blame it on those freaky albino sisters in the alley.
I tried to blame my over-caring parents and a town much smaller than my dreams.
I even blamed the bear that chased me up a tree.
Either way, I blamed anybody or anything that wasn’t me. My tale begins with the first lukewarm beer. I was thirteen. It was like adding gasoline to an inferno, and my life turned on a dime. Suddenly focused on the ease and comfort alcohol brought, I launched a rocket that was the comedy and tragedy of my early drinking years. Powerless s is the first book, a story of my drunken fuckups and stupid adventures in the 1970s, my high school years. In those days, all I wanted was to chug as many beers as possible and be the life of every party.
And there were lots of parties. I turned group camps and school trips into laugh-out-loud disasters that prompted a visit to the shrink. The doc to my “She’s bi-polar as hell.”
And so it began. The Powerless series is a memoir told as a story; a story so twisted that it took seven books to reveal it all. Join my crazy story about getting drunk, getting sober, and the search for grace.
