at Odyssey House, and Janice.

Benoit Denizet-Lewis, author of America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life, spent the afternoon at Odyssey House reading from and discussing his new book with a large group of ElderCare clients. America Anonymous is about eight men and women struggling to recover from addictions ranging from drug and alcohol abuse to overeating and compulsive gambling. For nearly three years, Denizet-Lewis immersed himself in their lives as they battled their addictions on the road to recovery. One of the profiles in the book is that of Janice, a former Odyssey House ElderCare client.
