I’m very excited to show this cover off today! It was done by the wonderful Regina at Mae I Design for new author Rose Candis! (Oh, and I had the pleasure of editing it — working with Rose was a blast!) Full of humor, heartache, tragedy, and triumph, this memoir has it all.If you or someone you know is looking for a book about addiction and/or incest recovery, check this one out. It truly shows a magnificent journey of an incredibly strong woman.
Blurb:
Under the Bed Across the World, Rose’s poignant account of her journey from incest and addiction into recovery, is both tragic and humorous. Her account of how her sexually abusive Jewish father divided her loyalty between him, her mother, and herself provides a microcosm for how sexual abuse and addiction destroy the human family. By confronting her past, Rose sheds her loyalty to her abusive relatives and creates her own unique family unit through international adoption. The memoir raises the question: Can contentment be found after departure from the quagmire of toxicity?
