The thirteen journeys of triumph in this first edition of the EARTH ANGELS Series are authentic accounts of how each author overcame a loss, addiction, misstep, or hardship... and went on to thrive. These empowering stories will inspire your creativity and resilience when facing your own challenges, and give you insights for counseling a loved one in need. Read the excerpts from the book (beginning on page vii) to get a sense of the stories. Should you feel a kinship with an author and want to reach out, you'll find bio and contact information at the end of each chapter. More than simply publishing a book, the authors have started an EARTH ANGELS Movement. Together with readers like you, we are seeding love, hope, inspiration, peace, and kindness around the globe. If you're not already a member, please join the movement at: www.facebook.com/groups/EarthAngelsMovementOne of our greatest hopes is that when you're finished reading this book, you'll gift it to a friend. One story, one kind act at a time, we will create the world our hearts desire.
