I am in the final round of completing a book about my daughter’s 30-plus years of addiction. My wife and I are working on the book together, and the journey has been enlightening, tough, loving and challenging. I firmly believe God has blessed the process, and the book will bring healing to other families and individuals who are going though this process. Please pray for God’s favor in the publishing of this book and the healing it has done for us and now others.
