About the Author:
Just prior to Jane Foster’s birth, her alcoholic mother had too many martinis, and the doctors could not safely administer anesthesia. She was born drunk. The seed that was planted in the cradle bloomed into full-blown alcoholism before Foster got sober in 1993. She not only overcame her addiction but faced many painful experiences that inform her novels to this day.
For nearly two decades, Foster has served on the board of the Hanley Center, an alcoholism and substance abuse treatment center. By sharing her experience, strength, and hope as a speaker and author, she has become an inspirational figure to many inside and outside the recovery community. Foster currently divides her time between Florida and France.
