Back Cover

These remarkable stories tell of sixteen people who struggled with various addictions and triumphed. They are moving and inspiring tales of transformation. Whether the substance was heroin or alcohol or food, the results were devastating in their lives. When they reached a point where they called out in anguish to a `Higher Power`, a turning point came, even though they were not religious. All are from the West, where alienation from God, stress and loneliness are commonplace. There are many paths to the Divine, and as the authors is with her Teacher, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, all these stories happen to involve His help and intervention. Addiction is a growing problem in the world especially in the West. Few truly recover and heal without spiritual support and a change in consciousness. These true stories of ordinary men and women will give hope and inspiration to all.
