Amazing redemption story about addiction and recovery. This disease can be beaten and Mary Beth proves this! She comes from being a meth addict to an American Judge who has 29years recovery under her belt. Amazing achievement and massive well done to her. I wish her all the best. Hope for addicts everywhere. #WDR

Great book but extremely traumatic! It took me longer to read because I went into a bad head space, but I was able to finish it! The fact that she was able to get clean after so much trauma and years of addiction is mind blowing and so inspiring! I’m glad she wrote her story and hopefully it changes someone’s life! Ps. I won this from GoodReads!
