INDEPENDENT AUTHOR NETWORK BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, FINALIST Fiercely determined to live without drugs and alcohol, Lynn has rebuilt her life-survived, somehow, her dad and his cocaine and his smuggling-but she can't seem to find all the pages to life's instruction manual. With wit and insight, Lynn takes us on a journey, and what a wild ride it is! Trying not to drink vodka in a Russian castle. Trying not to drink anything in graduate school. Cocaine-addicted lab rats. Peeing next to a grizzly bear. Trudging through the wilderness of relationships in search of this thing called love. Even if you've never struggled with addiction or love, you'll find humor and wisdom in this very human, true story of how we can use just about anything-booze, relationships, potato chips-to try to change the way we feel. Brace yourself for this candid and darkly funny sequel to Lynn's award-winning book, Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler's Daughter.
