Excerpts from memoir
The Body Never Forgets: “It was July, the summer before my junior year of high school, and I was staying up late one night, waiting to binge.”
The Liver of a Beagle: “If I hadn’t known before, then I knew on the plane. Everything was different. It was the first time I could remember that I wasn’t afraid of flying. I couldn’t drink, but I didn’t want to. I didn’t even need the alcohol.”
