Double Double: A Dual Memoir of Alcoholism

In this introspective and groundbreaking memoir of addiction, mystery writer Martha Grimes and her son, Ken Grimes, present two different, often intersecting points of view. Chapters alternate between Ken’s and Martha's voices and experiences in 12-step program and outpatient clinics. Written with honesty, humor, a little self-deprecation, and a lot of self-evaluation, is “an honest, moving, and readable account of the drinking life and the struggle for recovery. This brave and engaging memoir is a gift” ( ).
