Critics Review

“It would be too simple to call Wife Mother Drunk a ‘sobriety memoir.’ That would only scratch the surface. This gem of a book is a candid, vivid, and lyrical expression of what it means to be human - how complicated, messy, and beautiful that can be - during a time when displays of humanity feel especially rare.

Wife Mother Drunk navigates the tightrope of a cord that connects us to our past and our future, the perils of a journey marked by undeniable love for our children and a search for ourselves.” – Emily Lynn Paulson * Author of Hey Hun and Highlight Real *
