September Featured Book

When the Water Still Holds Me

Johanna Scoglio

This book offers language for those who do not see themselves reflected in traditional recovery narratives. It centers a space where growth and struggle coexist, where grief and joy can be found, and where a meaningful life is not dependent on reaching a final, settled state of healing.
