À propos de cet audio

 "A refreshingly raw, contrasting perspective on the foolproof idea of motherhood." -- POPSUGAR

"By turns painful and funny... A searingly candid memoir." -- Kirkus

"Far from your cookie-cutter story of addiction . . . [I'm Just Happy to Be Here] describes Hanchett's journey to recovery and sobriety in imperfect and unconventional ways." -- Bustle

In this unflinching and wickedly funny memoir, Janelle Hanchett tells the story of finding her way home. And then, actually staying there. Drawing us into the wild, heartbreaking mind of the addict, Hanchett carries us from motherhood at 21 with a man she'd known three months to cubicles and whiskey-laden domesticity, from judging meth addicts in rehab to therapists who "seem to pull diagnoses out of large, expensive hats." With warmth, wit, and searing B.S. detectors turned mostly toward herself, Hanchett invites us to laugh when we probably shouldn't and to rejoice at the unconventional redemption she finds in desperation and in a misfit mentor who forces her to see the truth of herself.

A story of ego and forced humility, of fierce honesty and jagged love, of the kind of failure that forces us to re-create our lives, Hanchett writes with rare candor, scorching the "sanctity of motherhood," and leaving beauty in the ashes.

Emotional Story

I thought is was an excellent. Honest, sad, beautiful, uncomfortable *and* comforting. I can't speak highly enough of it. I have been a big fan of the author for years, and this book did not disappoint. I don't think I've ever felt more seen and understood, and like someone else has the same sort of brain

Excellent

Such a wonderful and honest book. Thank you Janelle for being so brave, in both your life and your writing.

Great read/ listen

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
This book is dark and raw, which I respect but the prose itself is a little over the top and can be difficult to listen to.

Might have been better with a different reader?
