Summary of this Book...
This a series of poems written by a recovering addict. The journey the author went through is chronicled as sobriety is finally reached and maintained.
It is inspirational to see the progress in the poems and to know that another sees the good in helping others face what they have been through.
This type of Book is good for...
Inspiration, motivation, and Spiritual solace in the process of recovery from addiction because the author has gone through the process and is now encouraging others to do the same.
I especially liked...
The poems that were personally written to the son of the author, and those that gave honor to the Lord for his help through the recovery process.
It's inspiring to see that the author has a second chance and is taking it by the reins. Proud of her for the progress she has made.
I didn't like...
There was nothing I disliked about this book. It is a well written, well organized, and intended to bring hope to others.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Give the author a hug. It's a series of poems that reveal the effects and results of addiction in such a clear and hopeful way in the end.
This Book made me feel...
Happy, sad, depressed, hopeful, joyful, and so many emotional peaks and valleys along the way.
The author of this Book...
Did an excellent job chronicling her journey to recovery and beyond. She pointed to the hope of a future without addiction.
I recommend this Book because...
It is chock full of inspiration. It openly depicts the despair and desperation an addict feels, the imagery within grasps the readers attention and doesn't let go until the end of the book.
Further Comments...
So grateful my wife picked up this book for my birthday. An early gift it may have been, but something that gave me confidence and hope that there is a light at the end of whatever tunnel we are traveling through.
