In The Soul Grind , bestselling author Jaydee Graham traced her journey from idyllic childhood to an addiction-shattered family, residential treatment and into the arms of an abusive boyfriend. And in The Soul Grind II , Graham returns with the same fearlessness and candor to deliver an incredible sequel to that story: her journey out of abuse and addiction and into motherhood. Upon finding out she was pregnant while in the midst of an abusive relationship, Graham decided to go cold turkey and leave her alcohol and drug-fueled lifestyle behind to protect her newborn son-though she didn't expect that her healthy decisions would put her on a collision course with all the dark forces and relationships trying to hold her back. Struggling to survive and heal, Graham explains how she built her own life as a single mother while getting a Master's degree in social work and becoming a speaker and advocate for herself and others. As ever, she exposes her own hard truths of pain, fear and guilt along the way-only to transform them via hope and her redemptive love for her beloved son. Through raw reflections, heart-rending stories, letters to her infant son and awe-inspiring lessons on how to keep going, Graham fills in the gaps left in The Soul Grind with gritty new insights and details-and offers a messy and authentic roadmap out of the trenches once and for all, both for herself and others. For any women struggling to find purpose, single mothers or survivors of addiction and abuse, The Soul Grind II proves once again that Graham is an essential, rising voice in the world of recovery and self-healing.
