Facing divorce\, the possibility of a grueling custody battle\, and internalized racism\, Robbins wonders just how much more she can take. \nNow\, with courage and candid openness\, she reveals how she managed to begin the long journey towards sobriety and unexpectedly finding new love. Robbins harrowingly illustrates taking down the wall she built around herself brick by brick and what it means to be Black in a startingly white world. With its raw\, finely crafted\, and engaging prose\, Stash is the story of just how badly the facade she created had to shatter before Laura could reconnect to her true self. \n\n\nabout the author\n\nLaura Cathcart Robbins is an author\, freelance writer\, speaker\, and host of the popular podcast The Only One in the Room.
