Title: I Couldn’t Put It Down: Drunk Driving Memoir Becomes Must-Read Across America

United States, 31st Jan 2026 - Here’s what nobody tells you: drunk driving crashes don’t just kill one person. They kill hundreds of futures. The wedding that will never happen. The grandchildren who will never be born. The birthday calls that turn into death notifications.Jacob Blanchard knows because he’s living it. His daughter Jillian was 20, full of life, heading home on June 13, 2020, when a drunk driver who had already killed one person kept driving. Jillian became victim number two.Now, In the Messes She Left Behind is hitting readers harder than any drunk driving PSA ever could. Real people. Real grief. Real anger at a system that initially blamed the victim. Real hope that sharing this story saves the next Jillian.“Every person who reads this and thinks twice before driving impaired makes Jillian’s death count for something,” Blanchard explains. “Every parent who talks to their kid about drunk driving because of her story is a victory. Every designated driver chosen because someone remembered reading about cookie crumbs on her nightstand; that’s her legacy.”Since publication, Blanchard has received hundreds of messages from readers committing to never drink and drive and educators requesting bulk orders.About Jacob BlanchardJacob spent 20 years building a blended family. He’s spent four years making sure Jillian’s name becomes synonymous with change.About the BookThis isn’t gentle. It’s 23 years of love followed by the worst morning imaginable, a two-year fight for justice, and an ongoing mission.
