Envision picking glass shards from your body after an explosion. Horrified and unstoppable, but neither can one look away. Its also unclear if leaving the shards in or taking them out will cause more pain, or even death. So one digs deeper into the humorous, witty prose.

Yet, when all the bloody pieces are laid on the table, and the catharsis is done, this journey is resolved. Her nonstop rant has accomplished its goal. Brown has shouted and sworn all those words and the previously whispered behind the door concepts of teenage addiction, rehab and relapse out loud for long enough, that the inability to speak of it disappears.

A few years back, Brown, a stay at home mom with two children and a music producer husband, Paul Brown, were living a privileged So Cal life. Then the devil took up residence. Their teenage daughter became addicted to drugs.

Gallows humor and a game face sufficed for a while as she made offhanded remarks to friends in carpool and at Starbucks about the latest extrication of their daughter from a nearby drug house and near death experiences.

When full blown menopause met the tornado of her daughters addiction, the Jacqui Brown perfect storm hit. The gloves came off. The game face was shoved in the closet, but thankfully the humor stayed.

Her critical message is that in order to recover, one must be willing to change. The Encarta Dictionary defines recover as to regain something, to get back something previously lost but also to control or correct oneself, to return to a composed state.

Brown decided she could change her life, and recover in both definitions of the word from menopause and from her daughters addiction. From the wild highs, lows and hormonal fluctuations of menopause, and from being completely and utterly responsible for her daughters every move, error, her ultimate happiness or unhappiness, even of her existence.

Jacqui Browns path to her own recovery involves an unfiltered, gut wrenching, guffaw-filled intimate look inside. The pain, the laughs, the sagging neckline and drooping breasts can be felt right through the pages written as though the reader were on the other end of a longwinded telephone conversation.
