Synopsis of book: This book is my personal testimony about the hurts and pains of my alcohol and drug life. Then the triumph and joy of deliverance by God. This book is a true account of the events of being a drug addict, a chronic alcoholic and willing to do anything to keep it going. Family, friends, children and my husband couldn’t stop me  — but God could and he did. Is this your first book? Yes, this is my first book. God has given me another book to write so I have started working on that one as well. Why did you write the book? God came to me one day and told me to be still and I didn’t understand at first but then I became humble a day or so later. God came to me again and said that he wanted me to write a book. I told God that I didn’t know how to write a book. Then God said I know. Then I asked God what will I write about. God said your life. I said OK and I started on it right away."
