Book Cover & Preview Text
Read this book, not to understand the unexplainable about abuse. But to know that you are feeling and thinking and reacting like many, many others who live with addictions. The alcohol, the drugs, the abuse may not be pervading your life. They may be the fringe on your dance through life’s paths. But one small feather on your dress can catch the wind of pain, and blow it around. Wind encircles the earth. It does not have to encircle your life.
