Adversity is an indisputable fact of life that we all will face at one time or another.

In a heartfelt collection of poems, Courtney shares a glimpse into her personal journey at the end of her decades-long marriage as she pulled herself up from rock bottom and transformed into an empowered, courageous survivor.

By sharing her darkness and ultimate recovery, she provides a roadmap for others to do the same.
