The Midday Rotary Club of San Miguel de Allende is pleased to present this coming Tuesday’s guest speaker, Rosemary Keevil, author of the book The Art of Losing It: A Memoir of Grief and Addition.
When her brother dies of AIDS and her husband dies of cancer in the same year, Rosemary Keevil is left on her own with two young daughters and antsy addiction demons dancing in her head. This is the nucleus of The Art of Losing It – a young mother jerking from emergency to emergency as the men in her life drop dead around her; a high-functioning radio show host waging war with her addictions while trying to raise her two little girls who just lost their daddy; and finally, a stint in rehab and sobriety that ushers in a fresh brand of chaos instead of the tranquility her family needs.Heartrending but ultimately hopeful, The Art of Losing It is the story of a struggling mother who finds her way―slowly, painfully―from one side of grief and addiction to the other. Her story is riveting and it’s a presentation you will not want to miss.
Rosemary Keevil has been a TV news reporter, a current affairs radio show host, and managing editor of a professional women’s magazine. She has a master’s degree in journalism and is currently a journalist covering addiction and recovery. Rosemary has two grown daughters who are content in their chosen careers. She lives in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, with her partner and her sheep-a-doodle. Rosemary has been clean and sober since 2002.
