A satirical, fictionalized memoir about survival, self-discovery, redemption and recovery, The Semi-Sober House is also more pointedly an indictment of the American treatment of addiction. It follows a year in the life of Jade Gamble, a savvy young woman from a privileged background, plagued by addiction. The picaresque protagonist endures harrowing escapades in the drug-fed underbellies of major American metropolises-Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Tucson and New York City-in search of a life on her own terms.
