A Clean Mess: A Memoir of Sobriety After a Lifetime of Being Numb

"NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of High Achiever chronicles life after addiction-the raw, the dark, and the hilarious-from setting out with nothing but a backpack to discovering her marriage was built on a shakier foundation than she'd ever imagined to staying sober when life fell apart. "Tiffany Jenkins illustrates that recovery is not just about sobriety, but about learning to live and feel again. Her compelling story is a testament to the power of resilience, humor, and hope."-Sarah Levy, author of Drinking Games A Clean Mess opens with the moment that changed everything. Tiffany is about to go on stage when she receives an odd message from her husband: "Hey Babe, some of the guys here are making some stupid decisions. Not me. But I just wanted to let you know in case you heard it from some of the other wives." By the end of the night, Tiffany knew her life would never be the same. This wasn't the first time she had to start over. After the opioid addiction and jail sentence that she chronicled in her bestselling memoir, High Achiever, Tiffany was ready for a fresh start. A chance to try life again, this time without drugs coursing through her veins. In A Clean Mess, she takes us back to those early days of recovery, and the whirlwind that she entered the moment she was out of prison. In just two years, she went from inmate to married and sober mom of three. Told with humor and honesty, A Clean Mess is Tiffany Jenkins's story of how she learned to live and feel for the first time without numbing herself with drugs-and how she discovered inner reserves of strength she didn't know she had. From her tentative first days of sobriety, to seeing two pink lines on a pregnancy test weeks later, to navigating anxiety, a new marriage, and motherhood at the same time, to surviving betrayal and divorce, Jenkins shows how she got through it all when her crutches and Band-Aids were taken away from her. An inspiring memoir that reads like fiction, A Clean Mess is a book that will buoy anyone seeking a life raft in hard times."

Strangers and Intimates: The Rise and Fall of Private Life

"Read by the author, Tiffany Jenkins 'Brilliantly original . . . endlessly fascinating and full of surprises' - Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen 'It is refreshing - and empowering - to read such a nuanced, thoughtful history of this slippery concept' - Kate Fox, author of Watching the English A Financial Times 'What to read in 2025' Book From ancient times to our digital present, Strangers and Intimates traces the dramatic emergence of private life, and argues that it is now in mortal danger. In this sweeping history, acclaimed cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins takes readers on an epic journey, from the strict separations of public and private in ancient Athens to the moral rigidity of the Victorian home, and from the feminists of the 1970s who declared that 'the personal is political' to the boundary-blurring demands of our digital age. Strangers and Intimates is both a celebration of the private realm and a warning: as social media, surveillance and the expectations of constant openness reshape our lives, Jenkins asks a timely question: can private life survive the demands of the twenty-first century?"

High Achiever: The Incredible True Story of One Addict's Double Life

"NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics-a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis. Tiffany's story continues in the New York Times bestseller A Clean Mess, available now! "Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black."-Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie When word got out that Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she'd committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she'd been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends-their friends-were the ones who'd arrested her. A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany's life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she'd done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease-whether it's a loved one or themselves."
