I am what is known as an ACOA (Adult Child of Alcoholic). I say that with love and respect; after all, that has played a huge role in who I am. At first glance my book is about addiction and complicated family relationships. The bigger message however, is about finding your inner strength to sort through your own life’s challenges. On YOUR terms. To not be ashamed of your story, but live your truth; openly and honestly. It is never too late. I am 48 years old, and with the release of my memoir, I have finally found my voice. Embracing and acknowledging past mistakes and celebrating achievements. http://jodeeprouse.com/
