The lost chapters : finding recovery and renewal one book at a time / Leslie Schwartz. by Schwartz, Leslie, 1962- author.

ISBN:  9780525534631 (hardcover) : 0525534636 (hardcover) Description:  251 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In 2014, novelist Leslie Schwartz was sentenced to 90 days in Los Angeles County Jail for a DUI and battery of an officer. After more than a decade clean and sober, Schwartz had a 414-day relapse into alcohol and drug addiction. 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 365.43092 Schwartz Sc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.43092 Schwartz Sc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 365.43092 Sc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 365.43092 Schwartz Sc Memoir Checked In Add Copy to MyList
