Stumbling Blindly Toward Grace

You can't be blind and drunk. Well you can but it's messy.<br /><br />In Stumbling Blindly Toward Grace Yvonne Garvey shares a raw unflinching and darkly funny account of her descent into addiction heartbreak and the slow unravelling of her vision. From childhood stitches and suburban dysfunction to full-blown addiction domestic violence and the terrifying realization that her liver-and life-were failing Yvonne's story is both harrowing and hopeful.<br /><br />Diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease and teetering on the edge of death at forty Yvonne's world began to dim both literally and figuratively. Somewhere between blackout nights and hospital beds misguided love and a growing sense that something had to give a different kind of clarity began to emerge. What follows is a messy miraculous rebirth through sobriety spiritual growth yoga and community. Told with biting honesty and sharp wit this memoir doesn't offer easy redemption. It offers something more honest: the possibility that even in the darkest moments something unexpected can take root. <br /><br />A shift. <br />A spark. <br />A stumble toward something like grace.
