Customer Reviews

"All I can say is, I read this book in one day and it usually takes me days if not weeks to finish any book.
I really liked the story because it touched on so many things. Friendships, family, addiction, pets, the judicial system, love/hate, business. Also, how if an addict can just hold on and keep moving forward, things will fall into place. "

Robert Blakely
"The story moved from one scene to the next, giving the reader a visual like a movie. Very unique way of writing. Took me a minute to get used to it, but when I did, everything came alive! "

The editing could have been tightened up some. Though I did think the read was entertaining.

Robert Aaland
"A very easy flowing read. Real circumstances tinged with a comedic relief. I like the way Ms. Goodwin incorporates a spiritual undertone aligned with the complexities of what a recovering addict goes through.

The characters are fun and witty. Also, the dog in this story is a reminder of how animals are not only pets, but very therapuetic to ones soul. "
