Jacqui, You really send a strong message with humor and caring from your heart! 
Your words have lead me to an understanding that it's not my fault. Reading your books has given me so many strong points to get started. 
Again thank you so much for giving me somewhere to go where I feel understood and that gives me strength to change!!! Cherie 


Get your day off to a laugh, a most keen sense of humor and craziness. I love this girl, this author, she's, THE REAL DEAL. You can bet on that.. take it to the bank. And buy it!

Product Description

Come join the maniacal romp through the author’s menopausal madness, all while recovering from recovery. From the nasty night sweats, to discovering her neck has taken on a life of its own, Jacqui Brown has found her stride in this sequel to her brutally powerful debut novel about addiction, “Dancing With The Devil.”

"Last week I ordered both of your books I thought it might help to read something from a mother's point of view instead of a doctor, and I am so glad I did! Thank you! I spent 2 days reading non-stop! Right now I am at that point in my life where I am trying to make changes and if they aren't made I realize nothing will change. Your words gave me encouragement and strength! I cried, laughed, and did a lot of thinking. The way that you write is special. You really send a strong message with humor and caring from your heart! Your words have lead me to an understanding that its not my fault and no matter what I do I have to live and let him grow and live with whatever choices he makes. There are some other changes I am trying to do to with my marriage and my faith, reading your books has given me so many strong points to get started." Cherie

Millions of parents around the globe are struggling with addiction, whether it is themselves, their children, or their relatives or friends. It's a dastardly, vicious, terrifying experience. For most, it's a big secret. We tend to keep it hidden because people love to judge others when they themselves have never been affected.
But guess what? When we start talking about it loud and clear, we start to thread our way towards finding a place to heal our own spirit, our heart, and our soul. We must talk about it in order to survive, otherwise, like me, you might just think about an alternative fix that will only do more harm than good.
I never thought I'd see that light at the end of the tunnel but I did and I'm here to tell, help you, allow you to see through my experience that there is one and it's not a train coming to shred you to pieces.

The honesty, laced with big doses of humor, will help you realize that the light at the end of the tunnel is not always a freight train coming to plow you down, although as Brown says, “Sometimes it is and you’d better learn to get out of the bloody way.”


“If your belly has turned into the Bermuda Triangle, and your boobs are currently living in your front pockets, and you no longer have to shave the back of your legs because your butt has gone South, then you’d better decide that change is imminent.”
~Jacqui~

“I laughed out loud from the belly till I cried. Hadn't laughed this hard for a very long time. You're absolutely hilarious!”

“The section about lack of sexual desire due to menopause was absolutely hilarious. How did she put it, men just seemed to be extra calories.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Life is so damn funny ... except for when it's not., February 20, 2012
This review is from: Recovery's A Bitch ...as if menopause alone wasn't bad enough! (Kindle Edition)
How would you react if your daughter was recovering from drug addiction while you were sweating with the oldies every night - and during the day too? Only the oft-hilarious Ms. Brown can find humour in life's darkest moments. This true story will bring you to tears - both kinds - joy and pain. Which is truly the story of life, isn't it? In Recovery's A Bitch this madcap author captures it all with honesty, poignancy and that twisted wit exclusive to stand-up comics. What a ride!

5.0 out of 5 stars Drug Recovery? Rescue me, Lord! Jacqui Brown embodies the "Super Mom" on a rollercoster journey. Priceless, February 22, 2012
This review is from: Recovery's A Bitch ...as if menopause alone wasn't bad enough! (Kindle Edition)
Jacqui Brown shares a very personal journey as she combats a painful subject - drug dependency. She sets out to conquer her demons, plays the leading role as "Super Mom" and holds everything together in this poignant, cathartic tale. Those seeking guidance and solace will immediately connect with the author's wit and ten year roller coaster ride towards inner peace. "Recovery's A Bitch" is a moving, highly charged book, rapt with gut-splitting humor. You cannot put this priceless book down. Bravo Jacqui Brown!!

More About the Author

I am an author, mother and former reporter for the Los Angeles Times community news. With several journalism awards under my belt I returned to the nest in order to finish raising my children. As you know, life can be quirky when it comes to kids growing up in this day and age. "Dancing With The Devil", was named Best Book award finalist by USA Book News. I wrote it over a period of ten years as my daughter's drug addiction took on a life of its own. The gloves came off when it seemed like there was no hope, but in this situation, hope is all you have. You can send them to rehab, but there are no promises there. As a parent you hold on for dear life and hope that their journey ends with life not death. Dancing is about faith, hope, and salvation in an impossible situation.
It's about tying a knot at the end of your rope and holding on.

I have just released the sequel to Dancing With The Devil.

"Recovery's A Bitch...as if menopause alone wasn't bad enough!" is a look at recovering from recovery. At times you will laugh out loud as you travel along with me in my pursuit of happiness, of getting my life back in order.

I am currently writing three more novels, a screenplay, and am in development of a stand up comedy show.
