Rosemary's world is turned upside down when her beloved brother dies of AIDS, and just months later, her husband succumbs to cancer. Left alone with two young daughters and the haunting presence of addiction demons, Rosemary faces an impossible challenge. This tragic event forms the heart of The Art of Losing It, a powerful and poignant novel that follows Rosemary's journey as she navigates the depths of grief and addiction.

In the wake of these devastating losses, Rosemary's life becomes a whirlwind of emergency after emergency. She struggles to keep her head above water, caring for her children and fighting her own demons. As the men in her life continue to disappear, Rosemary must find the strength to pick up the pieces and carry on.

Despite the overwhelming obstacles she faces, Rosemary remains a high-functioning radio show host, striving to provide a stable and loving home for her daughters. However, the weight of her grief and addiction begins to take its toll, and she finds herself waging a fierce war against her addictions.

Determined to overcome her struggles, Rosemary enters a stint in rehab and sobriety, hoping to find the peace and clarity she so desperately needs. However, her journey is far from easy, and she faces a fresh brand of chaos and turmoil that threatens to tear her family apart.

Through it all, Rosemary remains resilient and determined to find her way back to her daughters and to rebuild her life. The Art of Losing It is a heartrending but ultimately hopeful story of a struggling mother who finds her way, slowly and painfully, from one side of grief and addiction to the other.
