I would like to share with you my thoughts on a fun book I was sent to complete a review for. The book is called Recovering From Life written by Debra McKenna.

Recovering from Life is a fun book to read and once you begin reading Recovering From Life it makes putting the book down hard to do. I laughed and I cried as I laughed so much. The book reminded me of Thelma and Louise in so many ways. As I read the story I would hear myself say “wow” I wonder what will happen next. I could even imagine myself living her life which to me makes a excellent story.
When Oprah is looking for books for her book club she should look into adding Recovering from Life to her list of must read books because I’m sure she would enjoy this book just as much as I do. If Recovering from Life does not make the Top 100 in books I will be surprised.
I hadn’t heard of Debra McKenna before I found out about Recovering from Life but now that I have I can’t wait to read more of her work because I ‘m sure I will enjoy the new book just as much as I did Recovering from Life.
I even shared Recovering from Life with my sister Debbie who also enjoyed the story. Debbie says she wouldn’t mind reading Recovering from Life a second time.
If you like mystery and suspense and the unexpected then Recovering from Life is for you.
All in all Recovering from Life was a huge hit in my home. I will purchase Recovering from Life to give to the ladies on my Gift Giving list.
About:
Recovering from Life is the tale of 39-year-old, red-headed spitfire Stephanie McCarthy’s rollicking road to redemption. A gifted freelance writer in Northern California, Steph works days hawking frozen foods while her life limps along.
Until her husband, Kenny, disappears into the crack ghetto. His descent into addiction catapults Steph onto a wild ride that feels unendurable—but ultimately leads to her own self-discovery. Marooned in a state of financial doom, legal tangles, and emotional turmoil, Steph navigates the pitfalls of her new path, which takes her into the realms of drug dealers, high finance—and hot romance.
With her wisecracking buddy, Lee, and other surprising allies at her side, Steph begins to rebuild her world as she stumbles into her own blind spots and wrestles with her faulty guy-radar. When Steph at last spies the “Welcome to Reality” sign at the end of the road, she realizes that her job is to heal from a life she never chose—and to recover from the one that she did. But while she rides that roller coaster of recovery, Stephanie has one hell of a good time.
