Stories from the Bottle: A Grandmother's Stories of Healing - Paperback

What is a life well-lived? First-time author Sher Daniels will tell you, as she disarms shame and turns the idea of "a charmed life" upside down. Since she was 12, 76-year-old Sher Daniels had a dream. The dream was to write a book, but life got in her way. Pregnant at 16, dropped out of high school, and married by 17, writing a book didn't seem possible. With no formal skills and no career training, her life was filled with a second marriage, supporting a family business, a household filled with troubled children to raise, and a slew of grandchildren, unexpectedly dropped in her lap.

The dream of becoming an author was definitely no longer in reach. Until now. You hold Sher Daniels' dream in your hands. Stories from the Bottle is not your average memoir. It is a life, painstakingly filled with truth, stories, letters, losses, regrets, and silent triumphs. It exposes the author's lifelong battle with love, religion, addiction, resilience, despair, and generational dysfunction. Stories from the Bottle is unconditional love like you've never felt. Author Sher Daniels boldly claims her place in a literary world that didn't see her coming. This is a life you will never forget.

Sher Daniels writes from the heart with remarkable vulnerability. Her voice is raw, honest, and deeply human, pouring emotion into every word. Stories from the Bottle is, in many ways, a love letter to her family-and to herself-offering acceptance and forgiveness as she candidly recounts her journey. This book will resonate with anyone who has faced addiction within the family. Most importantly, it offers hope and a powerful reminder that each day is a gift. - T.Winikoff
