The Lost Chapters
Author: Leslie SchwartzPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525534644
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Leslie Schwartz's powerful, skillfully woven memoir of redemption and reading, as told through the list of books she read as she served a 90 day jail sentence In 2014, novelist Leslie Schwartz was sentenced to 90 days in Los Angeles County Jail for a DUI and battery of an officer. It was the most harrowing and holy experience of her life. Following a 414-day relapse into alcohol and drug addiction after more than a decade clean and sober, Schwartz was sentenced and served her time with only six months' sobriety. The damage she inflicted that year upon her friends, her husband, her teenage daughter, and herself was nearly impossible to fathom. Incarceration might have ruined her altogether, if not for the stories that sustained her while she was behind bars--both the artful tales in the books she read while there, and, more immediately, the stories of her fellow inmates. With classics like Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome to contemporary accounts like Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, Schwartz's reading list is woven together with visceral recollections of both her daily humiliations and small triumphs within the county jail system. Through the stories of others--whether rendered on the page or whispered in a jail cell--she learned powerful lessons about how to banish shame, use guilt for good, level her grief, and find the lost joy and magic of her astonishing life. Told in vivid, unforgettable prose, The Lost Chapters uncovers the nature of shame, rage, and love, and how instruments of change and redemption come from the unlikeliest of places.

Pages : 199
Book Description
Claire Hatwell is a wife, a mother of four and an advocate for sober living, having fought a battle with alcohol addiction and won. Addiction comes in many forms, there isn't a stereotypical addict or a certain way into recovery, and what works for one person won't necessarily work for all. Claire shares her personal experiences to give hope to those in situations similar to the one she was in. Her intention is to show those in need that there is a way out of addiction, a way for families to understand those close to them, and a way to see light at the end of the tunnel. Claire says, if she can get sober, anyone can, "There were so many years when I wondered about my drinking, but people like me don't have problems like that... or do they? Sometimes it's hard to admit something to others, and harder still to admit it to yourself."Having written the popular blog My Not So Secret Diary for the past few years, this is Claire's first book, and the story of her recovery and my journey to a life of sobriety. Claire has been sober since 2016.
