Confession of the Broken: A Codependent Rock Chick's Journey from Hopelessness to Healing
During my journey of healing from the family disease of addiction and codependency, I wrote a 5-song blues/rock/gospel album and a book. This project is my story of recovery, reconciliation—with myself and my alcoholic father—and redemption of every broken part of my life into something beautiful.
The ebook is a multimedia experience: it includes links to all five songs on the companion album and a full-length storyteller event. If you or a loved one are on the road to recovery, or if you hope to be one day, I hope you'll check it out. Click HERE to find the ebook on Amazon.
