This book is an autobiography with a purpose. It is first conceptualized to review one's life for self-healing and peace, and it developed as an avenue to share the lessons that the author learned about overcoming patterns of addiction and dysfunctions in life, first to her own grandson, and later, to those others who might benefit from the testimony. Needless to say, it required much personal courage to write about her own journey, but the thought of having her story benefit others who share the same struggles is for her, a great honor and a unique privilege.
