Yellow Tale

Newly revised edition (April 2014). Meet Tiffany. At first glance, you might think she has it all. Her smile will charm you, her intelligence and business savvy will impress you, and her quick wit will have you in stitches. As a New Yorker with Midwestern roots it seems like Tiffany has it all, but she’s harboring a deep, shameful secret.

She’s an alcoholic. And not the sorority party-girl kind either. Tiffany was a low-bottom, round-the-clock drinking alcoholic who just over five years ago, drank herself into a coma with a blood alcohol level well over the lethal limit. She was also a broke, jobless, friendless, and nearly homeless alcoholic, yet no one knew it at first glance.

Her story of redemption is an awe-inspiring journey, but it’s only part of the tale. On the road to recovery Tiffany learns that drinking was just a symptom of her problem, a problem she shares with 17.6 million people in the United States alone.
