あらすじ・解説
Two-time National Indie Excellence Award recipient
An occupational therapist, yoga instructor, and mother of three confronts him. “We need to talk. It's about your drinking.” Conveying to an emperor of denial that he's not wearing any clothes will deliver the same result as a hand grenade with a loose pin — it's gonna blow! — hence the sudden arrival of a SWAT team on the lawn.
Captivating, psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of guts and wit as she navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism, unbelievable deceit in many forms, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer — that always goes well — and more. Poignant therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix offer insights as sharp as the New York doc's shoes. There's a vibrant, playful re-emergence captured as she is pursued by a millionaire, tries dating a woman, and then there's the hot young contractor. Particularly meaningful are the community members: neighbor, lawyer, judge, hairstylist, Vietnam vet, waitress, and the real estate broker, who each become a link in the chain of this endearing family's wellness.
Shot Glass is an intimate narrative of courage, compassion, and altruism written with a touch of humor in unexpected places. The pacing and tension of raw, honest dialogue and sensory immersive scenes has listeners claim they couldn't stop listening!
