What people are saying…

“I cannot begin to tell you how much I love your manuscript. It grabbed my heart
and took me along on the incredible ride of your struggles to break free from
addiction and allow yourself to receive all the love waiting for you. Even readers
unfamiliar with addiction will be able to experience it as they stand in your shoes.
It’s such a gift to the world to vividly and thoroughly convey your experiences in
the way you do. This book has magic in it. It’s exquisite from beginning to end, so
moving and heart-wrenching. I can sense and feel its profound impact on those
who have the good fortune to read your brilliance and experience the incredible
love infused in your prose and your story.”

“You’ve done an incredible job of writing a story that must be heartbreakingly
difficult to relive, not to mention share with other people. You are particularly
adept at reflection and emotional insights—which makes you hugely relatable from
start to finish, even in your darkest moments—and at writing believable, crisp
dialogue. You’ve managed to communicate the devastation and compulsivity of
these years of struggling with your addiction and self-destructive patterns clearly
and piercingly. I was hooked from the first chapter.”
