What do giving birth and getting sober have in common? Ask Amy Liz Harrison—sober mom of eight, Gen X survivor, and one of recovery’s most original new voices.
Before she was a stay-at-home mom navigating suburban Seattle with an army of kids, Harrison was a creative Christian kid dreaming of stardom in 1980s Silicon Valley. Life took her to Los Angeles, into marriage, and into motherhood—but depression, isolation, and a devastating crisis of faith quietly drove her toward alcoholism. Her rock bottom came in handcuffs, separated from her four children.
What followed was a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest transformation. Ten years of sobriety and four more babies later, Harrison’s recovery journey became the foundation for an irreverent, laugh-out-loud memoir that treats addiction recovery with equal parts candor and wit.
Relatable, refreshing, and moving, Eternally Expecting is for every woman who has hit bottom and clawed her way back—whether you’re sober curious, in recovery, or simply human.
Recovery has never looked this funny. Or this real.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - To recovering 80s kid Amy Liz Harrison, getting sober and giving birth were shockingly similar. And she's uniquely qualified to know since she's been sober for over a decade and has given birth to eight children (nope, this sentence has no typos).Before she was a sober mom of an army and living in the suburbs of Seattle, Harrison was a creative Christian kid in 1980s Mountain View, California (Google and Facebook hadn't made it cool yet). After running amok at church camp and dreaming of becoming the next Madonna, she moved to Los Angeles, graduated from college and married an airline executive.Grounded by life as a young teacher turned stay-at-home mom to four kids, Harrison watched her husband's career soar. He gained altitude, earning promotions and relocating the family as she struggled with excess baggage. Depression, isolation, boredom and a devastating crisis offaith led to extra glasses (or bottles) of wine at the end of the day. Which eventually led to being led away from her kids in handcuffs.Ten years of sobriety and four more babies later, Harrison realized that giving birth and getting sober were kinda sorta the same. In some ways, her story is unique (really, who has eight kids these days ), but it's also the experience of many other travelers. People get sober and transform their lives. Jet lag, childbirth or alcoholism-they all require recovery.Try not to gasp through Harrison's wild trip from Bay Area adolescent to young mother to incarcerated drunk and ultimately to the epiphany that if she gives her health and recovery priority boarding, she can eternally expect everything else in her life to fly first class. A recovery memoir like no other, Eternally Expecting is a hilarious romp through a serious issue and a memorable story from one of recovery's most original new voices.
