Description
Stash My Life in Hiding is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest memoir that explores the complexities of addiction, privilege, and racism. Laura Cathcart Robbins shares her journey towards sobriety, revealing the ways in which she struggled to keep her addiction hidden, even from those closest to her.
With raw, finely crafted prose, Robbins recounts her experiences with addiction, marriage, and motherhood, shedding light on the insidious ways in which internalized racism can affect a person's life. This is a story of courage, resilience, and the power of self-love, as Robbins navigates the challenges of sobriety and finds a new sense of purpose.
