Blackout Girl: Growing Up and Drying Out in America
By Jennifer Storm
About the Book: Discover the tender, gritty, self-told survival story of a teenage addict. Here is a can't-tear-yourself-away look at what can happen to the one-in-five teenagers who have a drinking problem. At age six, author Jennifer Storm was already stealing sips of her mother's crème de menthe.
By age 13, she was binge drinking and well on her way to regular use of cocaine and LSD. She anesthetized herself to many of the harsh realities of her young life, including her own misunderstandings about her sexual orientation, which made her even more vulnerable to victimization. As a young teen, Jennifer's life was awash in alcohol, drugs and the trauma of rape.
The upside is that Jennifer came through untold darkness to create for herself a life of accomplishment and joy. Her remarkably tender and telling story proves that forgiveness and redemption are more than possible through recovery and a commitment to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

| Freedom from Suffering: A Journey of Hope |
By Dr. Stephen Grinstead
About the Book:
First of all, there is nothing wrong with wanting pain relief. However, it may be unrealistic for some people with some pain conditions to ever be pain-free. In this instance, I often ask my patients: "even if you had a certain level of pain, would it be all right if you never had to suffer with it again?" Of course, they answer yes. That is a major reason I wrote this book, Freedom from Suffering: A Journey of Hope.
This book was written for people living with chronic pain who are ready to learn and then put into practice seven strategic steps that will help them better manage their chronic pain condition, improve their quality of life, end suffering and achieve their cherished goals. It will also be extremely helpful for family and friends - and healthcare providers - of people suffering with chronic pain.

Many Blessings: A Tapestry of African American Women
By Sonnee D. Weedn, Ph.D.
About the Book: Ten years ago, Marin County psychologist, Dr. Sonnee Weedn, was asked to treat a young, urban, African-American woman. Believing that as a white woman living in the reality of de facto segregation, she was not knowledgeable enough to treat this woman effectively in psychotherapy, she set about to learn more about African-American culture. This stimulated her thinking about African-American women. What was it about them that had allowed them to survive and thrive despite the double prejudice of racism and sexism? Some of them had overcome addictions and were living a life of recovery. She wondered about the historical implications of the confluence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement on this particular cohort of women, most who had come of age during law-enforced segregation... read more

| The Half-Truth High |
by Kevin Fleming
About the Book: Did you ever wonder why self-improvement strategies dealing with change and success make things seem so reasonable?
Could it be that what makes all these mantras and pop books so appealing on a mass scale is the same thing that keeps them from working. They all "make sense." But are all the things that make sense TRUE?. Dr. Fleming takes you deep within the mind of a psychologist and leadership consultant, letting you in on the secrets of the half-truth - the clever way we convince ourselves we are changing bad habits, leading a company to profitability, or even rising personally to the highest level of thinking about ultimate reality. Using a questioning process that turns half-truths over to find the denied part of reality in us all, Dr. Fleming paves a way to understanding and change that no simple "7 Tips or Tools" book could possibly provide.
