Mother Load: A Memoir of Addiction, Gun Violence & Finding a Life of Purpose

Overview

It never should have happened. That's what Wendy Adamson thought as she sat handcuffed in the back seat of a squad car. In fact, Wendy could vaguely remember a time when she had dreams of making a difference in the world. So how was it that her life had gotten so far off track? Follow the journey of a devoted wife and little league mom from falling down the rabbit hole of methamphetamine addiction and gun violence through the selfless act that would lead to saving her own life through sobriety. This is a story about Wendy's undoing, and the long and delicate reassembly it would take to put her life back together again, a life that is beyond just existing, but a continuous celebration of all things living. Because when you stand on the precipice of addiction, the only way to survive the jump is to live each day like you may never have another. Living becomes the ultimate privilege. Motherhood becomes the ultimate gift, and Wendy knows that the only way to keep what she has is to continue to give it away.

Reviews

Bravo to Wendy Adamson for not only her bravery but for her delicate balance of carefully crafted descriptions mixed with brash inner dialogue. We've all heard about the double lives of PTA moms doing meth but Mother Load is the real deal, pulling back the curtain on that so-called perfect domestic life and showing us again that addiction is an evil equal opportunist. Engaging, moving, insightful, Mother Load is a must read. -- Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie
