Download After the Fire: A Memoir in Poetry and Prose AudioBook Free
New York Times best-selling creator J. A. Jance's heartrending assortment of poetry and essays recounts a dark chapter of her own life, her first marriage to the alcoholic - a robust go through the mental cost of craving and an inspiring report of courage and triumph in the wake of crushing beat. Before she found popularity as a best-selling enigma creator, Judith Jance wrestled with the anguish of being married to the alcoholic. For a long time she channeled her pain into words, composing the poems in this moving volume level, first shared in 1984, each year before her debut book. In searing and immediate terminology, After the Hearth chronicles the collapse of Jance's first marriage under the weight of her husband's addiction-and her own unwitting denial and codependence while she struggled to find herself. "I am going to not be the price tag on your redemption," she published then. "I am going to not pay my life to ransom yours." An intimate, deeply personal look into a wrenching time in Jance's life, After the Hearth is a portrait of addiction and its insidious effects on lives and love. It illuminates widespread truths about unbearable loss and finding the courage to carry on, and offers inspiration and deep insight in to the heart and soul and work of any beloved best-selling creator.
