About this Item
Signed by author on title page without inscription. First edition with full number line. That fire can cleanse as well as destroy is no mystery to J. A. Jance. Before she found fame as a best selling mystery author, Judith Jance wrestled with the personal anguish of being married to an alcoholic. For years she composed poetry in secret and kept it locked away. Finally it was published as After the Fire in 1984, the year before her debut novel. After the Fire chronicled the death of a relationship as Jance's marriage to her first husband gradually collapsed under the weight of his addiction, aided and abetted by her own unwitting denial and co-dependence, while she struggled to find herself. I will not be the price of your redemption, she wrote then. I will not pay my life to ransom yours. Now this deeply personal work is available in a new annotated edition. In it, Jance offers unblinking insights into where she was and what was happening when each of these searing poems was written, remaking After the Fire as more than a collection of poetry. Now it is a portrait of addiction and the insidious ways in which it destroys relationships. Seller Inventory # 13-1-909
