Smacked: A Story of White-Collar Ambition, Addiction, and Tragedy by Eilene Zimmerman
4.0
While Eilene and Peter’s marriage has ended, they have stayed in each others lives. When her son tells her house sick his dad was, Eilene drops by to check in on him, only to find him dead. Eilene had seen his health failing over the past, but he always had an excuse for his poor health. Little did she know, Peter was an addict. This book is the story of finding her ex husband dead, and attempting to find out what had truly been going on with him for so long.
Addiction is such a hard disease, especially for the loved ones of the addicted. This was a beautifully written story of a hidden addiction, and how it continues to harm Peter’s loved ones. It’s so crazy to learn how common it is for people in certain careers to fall into drugs, alcohol, and other addictions. Eilene was truly open and honest about every step of her journey after Peter’s death, which was fascinating and also heartbreaking. I highly recommend this one, especially on audio!
