Join me as Clare Pooley tells her story through having a lovely life and home yet dealing secretly with alcohol addiction. She shares the ways she was struggling and how writing helped her to change her life.
Clare began her sober journey with the help of an anonymous sober blog, Mummy was a Secret Drinker, and found comfort and healing not only in the writing itself, but in the community and vast legions of women who reached out and identified with her story. Clare touched and influenced thousands with her blog, and went on to publish her first novel, a memoir, The Sober Diaries, which detailed the trials, tribulations, and humor found in her first year of sobriety.
I was lucky to read Clare's latest book and first novel, The Authenticity Project, a few weeks prior to the release date and I truly loved it. It was wonderful to speak with her about character development, the affection she feels for her characters, and how she goes about her writing process. Clare speaks on how living with addiction in "secret" led her to develop the ideas and characters for this novel as she wondered what would happen if we all just started telling the truth about our lives.
Clare is a delightful human being with a wonderful sense of humor (cheeky, as they say) who has turned her world around and offered hope and inspiration to thousands of women through her writing.
If you are looking for a novel that will touch your heart, make you think, and delight you to your core--I cannot recommend her book enough.
