I am a forty six year old wife, mom, and entrepreneur from Chicago. My book, The Diary of a Dope Fiend's Daughter, is both a memoir and guided journal. The book was written in mostly vignettes, short stories, and guided prompts to help others heal through reflection, truth-telling, and writing. With the full support of my mother who is now twenty-seven years sober my mission is to share my journey of resilience while inspiring others to not only reclaim the voices that were once silenced, but to also rewrite their stories and start their healing journey through writing.
