About The Book
Henrietta Rose is a woman felled by drink for most of her life, and now sober if slowed by some delayed effects of her habit. She is a naïve painter, a raconteur, and sought-after speaker at AA meetings, and a Good Samaritan to some colorful young drunks. Once she was a rich and famous hostess in exotic capitals and mother of three children, whom she has lost here and there. Her losses haunt her, but sobriety tickles her too; she screws up her courage to give a series of dinner parties to reacquaint herself with her brother and grandson, and gives one last grand party for them and all her new friends.
