Stash

In 'Stash: My Life in Hiding,' Laura Cathcart Robbins candidly recounts her life as a high-profile Hollywood wife and mother struggling with addiction.

The book delves into her experiences of hiding her addiction while navigating PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches.

It explores themes of privilege, internalized racism, and the challenges faced by Black women in a predominantly white world.

Robbins describes her journey towards sobriety, her divorce, and the process of dismantling the facade she built around herself.

The memoir is praised for its raw, finely crafted prose and its ability to address the paradoxes of addiction, race, family, class, and gender.
