Knapp, for example, started drinking at age fourteen. she drank through her years at an Ivy League college, and through an award-winning career as a lifestyle editor and columnist. publicly, she was a dutiful daughter, attentive friend, sophisticated professional. privately, she was drinking herself into oblivion, trapped in relationships that continued to undermine her self-esteem--until a series of of personal crises forced her to confront and ultimately break free of the "liquid armor" she'd used to shield herself from the complicated battles of growing up.
