Addiction and the Family
By Montclair Literary Festival
Welcome to Succeed2gether's Montclair Literary Festival 2020!
Our fourth FREE online event is a discussion about addiction and how it affects the family dynamic.
Eilene Zimmerman’s powerful memoir, Smacked: A Story of White Collar Ambition, Addiction and Tragedy, examines the world of white-collar drug abuse as the author pieces together the mysteries surrounding her ex-husband’s descent into drug addiction, while Dr. Larry Westreich, an addiction expert and author of A Parent's Guide to Teen Addiction: Professional Advice on Signs, Symptoms, What to Say, and How to Help, talks about treatment options. Moderated by Gabrielle Glaser, author of Her Best-Kept Secret: Why Women Drink and How They Can Regain Control.
All authors appear for free and the best way to thank and support them is by buying their books!
All books can be purchased from Festival partner Watchung Booksellers.
Succeed2gether’s fourth annual Montclair Literary Festival was scheduled for March 25 to 29, 2020. Due to the current health crisis, Festival Day is now taking place online on Saturday September 12, 2020. See all of the talks by following us on Crowdcast or visiting our website events page here.
The festival is a fundraiser for Montclair-based non-profit Succeed2gether, which offers after-school one-on-one tutoring and enrichment classes with the aim of closing the education and opportunity gaps in Essex County, NJ.
