About the Author

I grew up in a broken home because of alcohol. I ended up in a foster home for ten years. I studied at Liberty University under Dr. Falwell. After my first divorce, I turned to alcohol for comfort. At the age of thirty, I began to drink. I knew being a Native American that alcohol wasn’t a good thing for me. But I ended up being addicted, which led me to failed marriages and prison. Along the way, I had six beautiful children. I’ve been alcohol-free for ten years, and my life is back on the positive path. Through my pain, I’ve learned that I can help others. I know that the road to recovery hasn’t been easy. But I’m glad that I no longer need alcohol to cope with life. I am glad I can now embrace life with others. I hope that this book will inspire others to make a change for the better.
