"Leah Thornton's life, like her Southern Living home, has great curb appeal. But a paralyzing encounter with a can of frozen apple juice in the supermarket shatters the facade, forcing her to admit that all is not as it appears. When her best friend gets in Leah's face about her refusal to deal with her life, Leah is forced to make a decision. Can this brand-conscious socialite walk away from the country club into 28 days of rehab? Can she leave what she has now to gain back what she needs? Joy, sadness, and pain and a new strength converge, testing her marriage, her friendships, and her faith." --Cover, p. 4.

Leah is an alcoholic. However, she could be an over-eater, or a smoker, or she could have any other addition. Leah has to deal with real-life, while also recovering from this terrible disease. I laughed, I cried and I felt I could use some of Leah's strength to work on my own faults.
Some of the issues Leah and her family and friends faced are very emotional and difficult ones. There was not a chapter in this book to which I could have assumed the outcome. I really enjoyed this book! I will recommend it to everyone.
3/9/10: I'm about half way through this book. It's taking me longer to read than expected. I am enjoying the main character, and hope to tell all about her when I am finished reading.
2/17/10: I am so excited to read another new book I won on Goodreads. I hope I keep winning. I love reading books I might not otherwise pick up. And I love sharing the book, and telling my friends and family my personal opinion of the story.
