Tides of Grief, Waves of Grace

A Memoir of Sobriety, Scandal, Heartbreak, and Healing

De: Ashley Jo

Narrado por: Ashley Jo

What if strength isn’t about holding everything together but about daring to fall apart and begin again?

In Tides of Grief, Waves of Grace, Ashley Jo shares her raw and unfiltered memoir of surviving loss, addiction, heartbreak, and scandal and discovering the power of grace.

From the outside, Ashley seemed like the picture of resilience: a Christian wife, mother, and executive leading a thriving team. But behind the polished surface, she was reeling from unimaginable pain—the death of her son, the collapse of her marriage, and the unraveling of her identity. When her life spun into a scandal no one expected, she spiraled from living with an alcoholic to becoming one herself.

This is the story of a woman who hit rock bottom and learned how to climb out, one choice, one prayer, one moment of honesty at a time. With grit and vulnerability, Ashley reveals the messy truth of healing, what it takes to survive when life feels unlivable, and how to rise again when shame says you can’t.

A memoir of resilience, redemption, and relentless grace, this book is for anyone who has ever felt crushed by loss, defined by mistakes, or convinced their story was over. Ashley’s journey proves it’s never too late to begin again.

A true story of Perseverance in the face of major life battles

I don’t think it is possible to listen to or read this book and not find something in your life you relate to. If nothing else, Ashley shares how to get through just about anything and while this is a highly emotional book, it offers a level of gentle encouragement that if someone can make it through all that she endured, you can too.

Real, Raw, Honest

This is an impactful memoir. We feel the love, hope, pain and despair in every moment. The fact that Ashley narrates her own story makes it even more meaningful. Her bravery, honesty and faith shine throughout this book. Inspirational !

Uncut, uncensored, and beautifully written and read

Child loss, alcoholism, addiction, bad relationships, self-destruction…all of this hit home. Her story resonated with me in a lot of ways. The way she kept getting up and persevering isn’t only inspiring but also bad ass. This was a great read and she did a great job narrating.

The genuine sincerity in the authors voice

I would highly recommend this book. I could not stop listening. What a story of unimaginable heartbreak and grace. The authors voice just pulls you into her life. This is by far the best book I have listened to. I was very touched and encouraged to make a change in my own life.

Poignant, Thought-Provoking, Moving

Tides of Grief, Waves of Grace is a brave, unvarnished memoir of a woman whose life unraveled through devastating loss, addiction, and public shame—and who survived anyway. With striking honesty, Ashley Jo chronicles the fall from outward strength to rock bottom, revealing how grief can distort identity and how grace often meets us in our darkest moments. This is a deeply human story of resilience and redemption, offering hope to anyone who has believed their pain or mistakes were the end of their story.

Ashley Jo delivers a deeply honest and courageous account of grief, addiction, faith, and accountability. She does not shy away from the full scope of her mental and emotional pain, tracing her struggles clearly from beginning to end while openly owning her failures and the choices she made along the way. Her writing is immersive and transparent, allowing listeners—especially those familiar with addiction and mental health challenges in their own families—to recognize the authenticity of her journey and the clarity with which she explains her thoughts, emotions, and growth.

As the narrator of her own story, Ashley Jo’s performance is profoundly impactful. The weight of her pain and grief is almost tangible in her voice, creating an emotional connection that would be difficult for any other narrator to replicate. Her delivery adds a powerful layer of authenticity, making this memoir not only heartfelt but deeply moving and immersive.

Endings can feel overwhelming and painful, especially when they follow loss, addiction, or the unraveling of a marriage—but they can also become quiet turning points, where healing begins, and a gentler, more hopeful chapter slowly takes shape. This memoir gives hope to all who hear it.
