Book Description:
Writers On The Edge offers a range of essays, memoirs and poetry
written by major contemporary authors who bring fresh insight into the
dark world of addiction, from drugs and alcohol, to sex, gambling and
food. Editors Diana M. Raab and James Brown have assembled an array of
talented and courageous writers who share their stories with
heartbreaking honesty as they share their obsessions as well as the
awe-inspiring power of hope and redemption.
I was moved by this book. I could relate to some of the pieces that are in the book. Other pieces I felt my self being opened up to a new side of life. I know many people in my life who suffer from addiction of one type or another so this book really did hit on parts of my life.I am glad that all the writers were able to tell of dark part in there life. This is not a read for the faint of heart.
