Have you or a friend or loved one struggled with loss, abuse, addiction, low self-esteem, or even suicidal ideation? Then this book will ring true for you.

Dr. Liz’ personal memoir chronicles the first 25 years of her life living in abusive environments, how she survived and ultimately found her way into the supportive and caring arms of 12-step recovery programs. Along the way, she describes for the listener exactly how she survived the traumas of physical and sexual abuse, mental illness and suicidal ideation, grief and loss, as well as her struggles with sexual identity, bulimia, addiction, and more.

In her “how-to” memoir, she offers her listener: 

• reflections on prayer, meditation, and life lessons
• a self-help resources section 
• her daily regimen 
• links to therapies, books, programs, individuals and specific products

...to help you not only survive, but thrive “beyond the wildest storms” of your life!

This is Book One of a two-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the second half of her life: the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn, to become a proud mom of her own teenager, a successful medical professional and college professor, and an international best-selling author.
