Description
After the Fire: A Memoir in Poetry and Prose
Judith Jance's powerful collection of poetry and essays recounts her experience of being married to an alcoholic, a heart-wrenching look at the emotional cost of addiction.
This moving volume chronicles the collapse of her first marriage under the weight of her husband's addiction, as well as her own unwitting denial and codependence. A deeply personal and intimate portrait of addiction and its effects on lives and love, After the Fire offers profound insight into the heart and work of a beloved author.
