This memoir is for anyone who neends help to get rid of any painful addiction, people need to read this book to make thier life free from problems and find their abilities to make life happier.
The theme of memoir is dark and hard to digest. The best thing is Lisa's writing style which is engaging and makes it nicely moving from past to present.
I read the book in single sitting and was absorbed from page one. It's a woman's life, struggle and experiences of the Lisa's life.
This is very appreciate able effort of her to share her own life story and make it beneficial for the others. Her painful journey and efforts depict that this world need some hope in the shape of factual books.
This book deserves an international exposure because this is a ray for the people dealing with such issues. It will help and make them confident.
