One Hour At A Time
In The Director’s Cut: Riley Baxter, Eugene Owens introduces a gripping story about resilience, redemption, and the messy pursuit of something real.
A raw, intimate look into one woman’s day—her mind, her memories, her fight.
Sierra Black is newly sober, barely sleeping, and trying to keep it all together. As the clock ticks through a single 24-hour period, we experience the fragile, often chaotic moments that make up her early recovery. From insomnia and intrusive thoughts to awkward co-worker interactions and an unexpected connection with a kind stranger, Sierra wrestles with the demons of her past and the pull of old habits, all while simply trying to make it to bedtime.
Told hour by hour, this poignant novella captures what it’s like to rebuild your life from the ground up—when the big milestones are still too far away, and all you can do is focus on the next decision, the next breath, the next hour. It’s a story about resilience, loneliness, awkward hope, and the quiet strength it takes to just keep going.
Inspired by the author’s own recovery journey, One Hour At A Time speaks not only to those battling addiction, but to anyone who’s ever felt stuck, lost, or on the edge of giving up. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do—is nothing more than make it through today.
