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.

I wasn’t impressed with this book. It never clarified who the monster was, so I feel like I was left hanging.

Wasn’t what I expected

I spent 4 years in Alanon for my own trauma from my childhood and then to go on with ex husbands. Praise God for all the angels that get us through it and over it! This is a good, violent, strong language story that shows you what addicts are going thru and the hope that you can come out of it so we don’t continue the trauma in our own children’s lives.
