An honest, inspiring, and often humorous dual memoir from bestselling author Martha Grimes--winner of the 2012 Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Award, ""and her son, Kent Holland--a public relations executive, that recounts their parallel descent into and recovery from alcoholism.

Alcoholism affects nearly 45 million Americans each year. People who suffer from the disease as well as their families know that while it is possible to get sober--there is no one "right" way to do this. Now, award-winning mystery writer Martha Grimes and her son, Kent Holland, offer two different points of view on their struggles with alcohol addiction. In alternating chapters, Kent shares his story of becoming sober at age twenty-five through a 12 Step Program that he continues to go to today; and Martha reveals her experiences in an outpatient rehabilitation center once in 1990 and again two years later.

"Double Double" is an intensely personal, candid and illuminating book, filled with insights, humor, a little self-deprecation, and lot of self-evaluation. Less
