Going numb was her only choice...

In this captivating memoir, one woman's journey unfolds - from the darkest depths of teenage abuse and addiction to the heights of personal and professional success. Her brave and vivid narrative, skillfully blending laughter and tears, reveals the enduring beauty that can emerge from life's darkest moments. Marked by scars and illuminated by triumphs, this is a gripping read for anyone who has faced adversity, dared to hope, and believes in the boundless power of redemption.

Journey from cold city streets to the Ivy League, where Tracy proves it doesn't matter where you start ... it matters where you finish.

"A tale of grit told with brutal honesty and a hefty dose of humor by the woman who lived it." ~ Angela Duckworth, author of "Grit", Professor, University of Pennsylvania

In this gripping and unexpectedly funny debut memoir, Tracy Viola's journey unfolds - from the darkest depths of teenage abuse and addiction to the heights of personal and professional success. Marked by scars and illuminated by triumphs, her brave and vivid narrative skillfully blends laughter and tears.

Written in a series of vignettes with 80s and 90s nostalgia throughout, Tracy paints a vivid picture of metamorphosis as she reveals the hard-learned lessons of addiction, recovery, and how to grab life by the balls.
