Blood Orange Night -- new memoir about benzo withdrawal

The book Blood Orange Night, by Melissa Bond came on my radar a couple weeks before it was published. It was released last week here in the U.S. through Simon & Schuster, and I'm curious to read it. It's a memoir from a woman who went through intense benzo withdrawal while having two small kids. She was a prescribed user of Ambien, Ativan, and Xanax. I believe the author is a writer at the Mad in America website. This is the first memoir specifically about prescribed benzo WD I know of that's been released through one of the big trade publishers.

I haven't read it yet but I put it on hold at the library. I figured some other folks might be into it (of course others may find it triggering). I'll report back after I read!

Here's a review from one of the trade journals: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/melissa-bond/blood-orange-night/

THanks for the info. My library site goes down around this time at night, but I'll check tomorrow and put in a request if they don't have Blood Orange Night.

Amazon has the audio version for free right now:  https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Orange-Night-Benzodiazepine-Dependence/dp/1797141554

Thanks Spin. The more people know about BW and believe it, the better.
