Summary
What happens when you realise that you must change your life?
When—after years of hiding in routine, shrinking from opportunity, and sleepwalking through your days—you know you want more.
How do you remake your life without breaking it?
The Cure for Sleep is the stunning memoir of a smalltown wife and mother who returns from sudden near-death determined to live her second life on a larger, braver scale—whatever it takes, or costs.

Honest, Raw & Beautiful
I loved The Cure For Sleep, especially with it being read by the author. That really made it all the more special for me. A true story full of drama and yet told matter-of-factly. It brought such hope and inspiration to me as a listener/reader. One I’ll definitely listen to again.

Triggering
Well written, but where oh where were the trigger warnings? Details of terminal illness, mental problems, blood and death…. the list goes on.
I’ve nearly finished it but I’m finding it such a depressing & self-absorbed misery-fest.
I would also say that audiobook narration should be left to the professionals! Nuff said
