Liz Fraser writes memoir and personal non-fiction about family, addiction and the gap between public appearance and private crisis. *Coming Clean* recounts her move to Venice with her partner and young daughter and the collapse of family life as her partner’s alcoholism and depression intensified. The book follows the practical consequences as closely as the emotional ones: childcare, money, housing, secrecy and the repeated decisions involved in trying to help someone whose addiction is worsening. Fraser writes from the position of a partner rather than as an addiction specialist, making the book a first-person account of living beside dependency and recovery. Her work fits memoir, addiction writing and family non-fiction, particularly for readers interested in the effects of alcoholism on partners and children. Read more Less
