It's 1983. At 27, Annie--who's taken a break from medical school to work and pay down her crushing student debt--falls deeply in love with Dean, a smart, sexy fireman. More than anything, she wants to accept his proposal of marriage. But she has hidden her affair with alcohol that she knows she must moderate in order to marry him. Immediately after his proposal, Annie gets a distressed call from her estranged mother. This phone call launches a grueling, four-day road trip with her mother, her loving but clinically depressed stepfather, and a tranquilized cat. On this arduous journey, Annie begins to understand the family trauma behind her drinking habit. Sober curious, she stumbles on her way to moderation but continues to get up and try again. Inspired by her own infatuation with alcohol, Susan Keller crafts a compelling depiction of the rocky road faced by those who aren't alcoholics but who yearn to know what life is like without a daily drinking habit. And, for anyone who's sober-curious and is searching for a way to moderate or minimize their consumption, Mostly Sober: A Love Story and a Road Trip contains an expansive Resource Section that will help readers loosen alcohol's seductive grip. This is the story of one woman's journey toward health and honesty. It's an adventurous ride.
