GREAT BOOK! As someone who knows enough about drug addiction and recovery to make a statement I definitely recommend this book. Unlike a lot of other drug and alcohol recovery books (this is not "just" one of those by the way) like for example A Million Little Pieces by Frey this is an honest account. Everything this woman went through (in terms of her addiction) has been gone through by countless others and she really has a way with words. This book reminded me of numerou life lessons that I've let slip from my mind over the years and how important it is to keep fighting. It's unreal how her early life was though, with the courts and police, and running away you'd think someone would have stepped in somewhere. She totally turned her life around and is now helping others- I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in any of the above or just plain memoir fans. I'd keep it if my bookshelves weren't so darn full! :)
