Shift and Shine: A Memoir - Deborah Richards - Bog

After surviving an early abusive marriage in her native England, Deb Richards fled with her life and her young daughter for the dream of sunny skies in Los Angeles. It was there that she met the handsome and successful songwriter Jake, who along with Alan Merrill wrote one of the most famous rock and roll anthems of all time, "I Love Rock and Roll." Together, Jake and Deb put that dime in the jukebox of life and had a dream marriage where they balanced Hollywood, famous exes and blending families. Deb faced a second nightmare when both her daughter and stepdaughter began to experiment with drugs. Her eldest daughter selected crystal meth as her drug of choice. In her debut novel, Richards shows how one mother's love and courage shines through despite overwhelming odds. Deb would need her own lifelines later after her husband's tragic suicide. Now a life coach, Deb proves that you can always reinvent. You can always shift your thoughts and shine your light. Shift & Shine is a must read for anyone who has loved an addict or lost someone to suicide. More than a self-help book, Shift & Shine is a comforting - and at times humorous - companion for those that face or have faced addiction and suicide in their own lives or in the lives of those they love. Chock full of meditations and prescriptive advice, Shift & Shine is an honest and inspiring story of hope. Recently released, Shift & Shine is currently a 5 star book on Amazon.
