Beschreibung
Jo Kelly’s dream was to be a famous jazz singer, but instead, she became a stripper, owning her own burlesque club in Sydney, Australia. In Dreams Drowned in Wine, she reveals her transformation from troubled business woman and party girl to spiritual seeker, on a quest for sobriety and healing. After a failed gig with famous jazz trumpeter James Morrison, Kelly built a million-dollar cabaret business with her trusty friend, alcohol, by her side. She had it all and partied hard, riding the wave of success and excess. But it couldn’t last. She crashed and burned into rehab on her fortieth birthday with singed sequins, broken stilettos, and drowned dreams. Sobriety was a rude awakening as she crawled from the ashes in search of sanity and freedom from addiction. She struggled through AA, meditated in India, and drank Ayahuasca medicine in the Amazon jungle. Did she find what she was looking for? In this memoir, Kelly shares her true story and her new and different life beyond booze.
