New York: Harper & Row. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. (c.1979). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight copy with extremely faint soiling to fore-edge; the jacket has a slight paper-clip indentation at the top of the front panel, slight dog-earing at top of spine, an unobtrusive 2-inch closed tear and associated soft creasing at the bottom right corner of the rear panel]. Memoir by a "successful career woman and award-winning television producer [who] thought she had everything -- until her therapist advised her to go off Valium cold turkey. In the space of a few weeks, she lost the man she loved, a career she adored, and herself. This book is the dramatic, heart-wrenching story of her Valium-induced breakdown -- a breakdown that need never have happened -- and of her courageous struggle back to a new life." The 1982 film version starred Jill Clayburgh; she was reviewed well, although the movie generally wasn't. .
