Book excerpt: Follow the true story of two women (Susan and Sarah) who battled the scars of Addiction, Childhood Abuse, being bullied and Domestic Violence. Through poetic narrative, (poems, quotes, stories), their journey through pain, addiction, abuse, emotional holocaust, unfathomable suffering, tragedy, depression, sorrow, suicide attempts, violence and the brink of death will leave you in a mess . . . until their words of empowerment turn it into a beautiful healing. The Poetry and Stories in this book are brought to life with Art and illustrations from Artist Leanne Tracey Jones who sympathetically and gently traces those tears and fears to moments of self-revelation and survival.
