Publisher's Summary
In the best-selling tradition of Smashed and The Glass Castle, this raw, eye-opening memoir tells the powerful story of Elizabeth Garrison's fractured childhood, descent into teenage drug addiction, and struggle to overcome nearly insurmountable odds.
Elizabeth invites the listener behind the closed doors of a picture-perfect Christian family to reveal a dark, hidden world of child abuse, domestic violence, and chilling family secrets all performed in the name of God under the tyrannical rule of her father.
Like countless teenage girls, Elizabeth turns to drugs and alcohol to escape. With smack-you-in-the-face honesty, Elizabeth chronicles the dark realities and real-life horrors of teenage drug abuse, living on the streets, foster homes, and treatment centers. She paints an unsparing portrait of scratching and clawing her way out of the grips of child abuse, addiction, and betrayal to find the strength within herself to save her own life.
Contains mature themes.

Wow, I’ve never been apart of the “drug world” therefore I have no understanding.
This book explained the stages of how drug addiction works….. What a scary world — thank you for sharing.

Raw honesty
Finally admitting the truth to herself and overcoming her fear of sobriety is a tribute to her character. Should give hope to all that anything is achievable.
Well narrated and compelling .

Raw and insightful
Hard core and brave true story. Mad respect for Elizabeth’s tenacity, courage and resilience. I found it tough to listen to at times as I was triggered by some of the circumstances, but was grateful for insight gleaned from Elizabeth’s honest recollections.
