My story "No Promises" in @chestnutreview.bsky.social

'Allison Field Bell’s “No Promises” is a frank and open reflection on the beginnings of domestic violence and the difficulty to escape from it once one is ensnared in the cycle of manipulation and fear.'

Here’s a confession: Today is Day 10 of my new sobriety. I believe it is the longest I’ve gone without a drink since I was 16. Yesterday, the sewer line at my house collapsed. Monday, Trump was inaugurated. I have not touched a drop. Baby steps, but steps all the same 💙
