About book Dying To Survive (2009)

Dying to Survive is a memoir written by former drug addict Rachael. It tells a truly disturbing tale of a girl who grows up rather abandoned and kicked from family member to family member. Instead of using her circumstances to become stronger, Rachael turns to drugs and makes choices that destroy her body and her soul. She attends numerous rehabs only to relapse again, which frustrates not only her family but herself. Only the birth of her son is her salvation. I believe this book could be a light to those still in the dark days of their addictions. Rachael's story is powerful! To see where she flew from to where she landed is just absolutely amazing.This is by far the best memoir I have ever read (up to this point, besides A PIECE OF CAKE) about someone battling to overcome their drug addiction. Rachael really pulls you into the life of a drug addict holding nothing back.
