In this fiercely honest memoir, Kerry Cohen explores the nature of addiction and recovery through her own midlife love affair with wine.

.When Kerry Cohen reached her early forties, she woke up one day and realized she had a drinking problem. Yes, she could get up on time, take her kids to school, make dinner, and chat with friends, but through it all, Kerry was waiting for her five o’clock glass of wine. Maybe two glasses. Maybe a bottle.

Just enough to blur the edges of her monotonous life. In this gripping memoir, Kerry examines her struggle with alcohol, a struggle that many middle-aged women are facing today as alcohol dependency among females drastically increases.

Beautifully poignant and infinitely relatable, Lush follows Kerry as she attempts to rediscover the awe in her life and learns to leave her regrets—and the bottle—behind.
