Most of our lives have been touched by alcoholism—our own, a family member, a friend, a colleague, or just someone we know. THE CRACKER FACTORY 2 invites the reader into weekly AA meetings—where seven recovering alcoholic women ranging in age from seventeen to seventy-two deal with issues of family, career, husbands, lovers, loneliness, life, sharing, strength, hope and humor—and into the life of an intriguing Hollywood insider. This unique autobiographical novel alternates between a script of frank and funny reflections from a cast of women in AA, alongside the juicy details of the storyteller’s career as a big network executive, TV series writer and producer. Joyce Rebeta-Burditt discusses, with humor, the questions most people ask about life after sobriety: Will I ever have fun again, if I’m sober can I be social? What do I do with the rest of my life? Is there success after sobriety? Why don’t I hear from people who’ve been sober for twenty, thirty, forty or more years? Plus: Who is the young starlet attending the meeting and WAS SHE COURT-ORDERED?! And who is the Hollywood psychic reminiscing about Elvis?
