From Junkie to Judge: One Woman's Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction by Mary Beth O'Connor, Mary Beth O'Connor

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

From Junkie To Judge was very interesting with many trigger warnings to be cautious of. Mary has been through a lot in her lifetime. From being abused both physically & emotionally, she turned to drugs & alcohol to survive. Her need for drugs also lead to sexual abuse & even rape. While she may have conjured up the idea that it was not rape as she did not say no or try to stop them, she now sees those experiences through a different lens & realizes what they were. 

Mary Beth had so many obstacles to overcome but she did it. She turned her life around & became successful. She put her past behind her & left it there. It is always truly amazing to me to hear about how people turn their lives around. It is truly inspiring.
