Sarah Hepola, a single woman with a rising career in media, was also a serious blackout drinker. Mornings became detective work on her own life: What did I say last night? Can I ever stop drinking like this? In her spirited memoir, Hepola pieces together her story, along with the science and history of the blackout itself. As she stares down her past in sobriety, she also learns how to live, love, create, and be a friend without the comfort of her crutch.
