And the world is asking the same question: Why would a woman with everything walk away? Alexandra isn’t chasing drama—she’s chasing silence. A windswept island off the New England coast.

Drawn from the personal experience of the authors and current research, The Heart of Recovery calls us to set aside judgment and mend recovering addicts and their families with the stuff God uses to heal: compassion and community. It's a call to serve the ones who cannot repay, to forgive 70 times 7, to fling the door wide open to the prodigal, and to remember the purpose of grace. A supportive community - family, friends, the church, and more - encourages and sustains long-term recovery. Through compassion, we bring hope for healing.

The book cover is a symbol of second chances and personal growth. It depicts the revival from a crisis as a tree (shaped as a human head) growing out of toxic soil (shaped as a death skull). We can't change our past, but we can grow from it. How has your past affected your growth? Sometimes, we need to be reminded that our past doesn’t define our future. Sometimes, we need someone who’ll just listen, or point us in the right direction for natural and community resources. Someone who’s been down the same hell hole as us …and made it out. Not only did I make it out, but my sincere ...
