DESCRIPTION:
There she must face and conquer the demons long suppressed by her self-administered anesthetic. Finally, at the age of sixty-eight, after decades of broken hearts and broken promises, and a body ailing from self-abuse, she reluctantly succumbs to her family’s insistence to enter rehab. In the face of failing health and aged despair, will she emerge from this crucible with another chance at love and life? From childhood Grace was close to her “Momma Claire”, and as a young adult studying art at Rhodes College, she had an unconscious propensity to overindulge. She wondered at times if she was on a collision course with the same fate as her grandmother, a question that would unexpectedly and suddenly be put to a life-struggling test. Claire Danner’s life was one call for “another round” after another. The parallel journeys of grandmother and granddaughter weave together and culminate in a joint pilgrimage that reveals a final, life-altering surprise.
