Book 4 of 7:
Unmanageable follows alcoholic Lela Fox’s roller-coaster life through ages 36-40, the years most trying and bizarre, and the last of her chaotic drinking years. Readers say the title is appropriate… as her crazy-funny-tragic life comes to a rolling boil.
Through adventures in the “Horrible-Green-House” to sunny days in the Bahamas, you'll meet her greatest enabler, her guardian angel, and dastardly arch-nemesis, Stuart. When Stuart gets clean, all seems rosy, but Lela’s drinking keeps her curious life on the edge of ruin. Though she tries, the handfuls of hundred-dollar-bills Stuart throws her way can’t buy peace of mind.
Bizarre circumstances are routine. It's the longest-yet book in the series, packed with edge-of-your-seat action, and the pace is head-spinning.
You'll also meet Stuart’s ultra-wealthy parents and enter her life of wealth that turns sour, even sadistic. Laugh through her hilarious attempts to hold a job, fret as Stuart stalks her, cheer when love wins, then cringe when an emergency gives Lela the title of stepmother to a troubled child and boss of a frantic nanny.
Is this the Lifetime that puts her over the top?
Can determination pull her out of the hell she’s created?
This is the fourth book in the Life & Times of a Curious Drunk series, a memoir following the twists and turns of Lela Fox’s life in and out of the bottle. Most chapters end with a “reflection” from Lela’s current 20-year-sober self, bringing bits of wisdom and healthy perspective.
READERS LOVE LELA FOX!
“WOW! I can’t say enough about this GREAT memoir! It’s like Lela is telling MY story and sharing the exact feelings I struggled with at the end of my drinking days. I love that she brings it home with the sober-summaries at the end of the chapter, so I know this awesome woman does get sober and thrive despite the trauma and betrayals she survived. Great book. Keep them coming!”
−P. Jenkins
“Lela Fox is so real that I feel like I know her. And her writing hits so close to home that it must come from deep in her heart. Love the whole series! Quick and easy to read for all alcoholics – so start reading! You’ll love it.”
