ROSALIND: A Diary of Addiction :
An addictive personality … does it really exist? Her sister thought so and she was probably right. This is a short story about Rosalind ... and she is a self confessed addict. But addicted to what? Well, if you asked her she would tell you … just about every damn thing!
This intelligent, sometimes amusing and sometimes distressing short story gives air to a tale of woe, the recounting of a journey, one that some would eventually describe as a slippery path downward, an uncontrolled and previously Un-navigated spiral leading directly into the open and curiously welcoming arms of total destruction.
Starting with a family who cared but not quite enough, this story ends with a much different, more threatening and even more violent family of individuals, ones who probably needed Rosalind much more than she needed them.
