In "Any Woman's Blues" by Erica Jong, world-famous folk singer Leila Sand navigates her addictions to drugs, alcohol, and a younger man who leaves her sexually fulfilled yet emotionally empty. Despite the betrayals, Leila's sexual ecstasy drives her to return to him repeatedly. Her journey to recovery takes her through AA meetings, indulgent parties, and erotic escapades. Ultimately, Leila learns the rules of love and the Twelve Steps, finding the Key to Serenity. This odyssey marks her path from addiction to self-discovery.
