— Gheorghe Turcin, Reentry Specialist, Washington State Dept. of Corrections

“Nickell tells the story of her long road through addiction and abuse in this inspirational debut memoir…. It’s a remarkable story, overall—not just because of what Nickell went through, but also because of what she was able to achieve: She owns and operates a highly profitable bakery business. Nickell speaks of God often, but she also discusses the psychological work that she put in to improve and forgive herself, making this a useful book for both religious and secular readers. A stirring account of a hard life and hard work.”

— Kirkus Reviews, reviewing this book’s first edition

“You’ll find no self-pity within these pages! Teresa is transparent, humble, and strong. I learned many things to apply to my own life as I read her story. I can’t say enough about the value of this book and the solid honesty Teresa poured into it. Read it. You won’t be sorry.”

— Diana Kilpatrick, Author of Off the Record and When Mountains Don’t Move

“I have known Teresa for more than ten years now…but never knew the real Teresa I learned about in her book. In working with her as a consultant for her business, I know Teresa as a competent, successful business leader and owner. She was always very confident in her abilities and now I know where this confidence came from. She has overcome a lot to accomplish the success she’s had in her life. This book is perfect for anyone whose successful future is being derailed… and who wants to learn how to overcome them to live a happy, successful, and purposeful life.”

— Grant Robinson, Owner, People Values

“I knew Teresa for fourteen years as a successful business owner but never knew the depths from which she arose, the abuse she faced as a child, the resulting demons that haunted her, and the lifestyle that many would discard as a wasted life…This book may motivate you or someone else to seek help that could save a life.”
