Things happen for a reason, right?
Like when an old, blind lady reaches out her trembling hand to Katty at the convenience store and tells her, “Find yourself a faithful man—faithful and true.” The woman’s touch zings Katty’s skin. “You’ll know when you’ve found him. He sees you like a queen ….”
Katty was just there to buy booze.
Angels gather, drawing her. Babies cry out to her.
All she knows is abuse and addiction. She has to find herself before she can be loved by a faithful man.
And the only place she can do that is … Gamma’s closet.
I have never read a book that described drunkenness and alcoholism so well. The beginning of this book is so intense experiencing the world with an uncontrolled desire to drink. It almost made me dizzy. I was put off a little in the ultra-spiritual nature of this book even though I am a Christian. The way things were handled by police/cps/medical professionals wasn’t factual. It was an interesting book and kept me guessing.
