“A hellish childhood, a drugged-out young womanhood, and she not
only sets herself straight, but spends her middle years helping to
doctor other young sufferers to safety.”
*Norman Lear, Emmy award winning television writer and
producer*
“This wonderful book will lovingly hold your hand through anything
you need to know about recovery and addiction, or really, just
getting through life. This is the Mackenzie I know: smart, funny,
warm, she has that great 'been there, done that’ attitude and just
tells it like it is, without judgment. Read this book now. It’s
your soft place to fall.”
*Valerie Bertinelli, actress and New York Times bestselling
author*
“This wonderful book offers a powerful and unique perspective of
the recovery process. Its conversational style pulls us deep into
the ‘heart of our own heart,’ and helps us view the challenges of
our lives through the lens of Mackenzie’s life experience. The
truth is we are all on the path of healing, and these essays help
us view our own lives with hopeful reverence.”
*James Twyman, New York Times bestselling author*
“Hopeful Healing is a riveting and well-documented account of the
messy yet beautiful experience of recovering from addiction.
Through a series of intimate and illuminating conversations,
Mackenzie Phillips leaves no stone unturned exploring topics that
range from shame and guilt to forgiveness, hope, fear, grace, and
more. Indeed, we do recover, and Mackenzie Phillips is as fine an
example of that as I’ve ever seen.”
*Chris Grosso, author of Indie Spiritualist and Everything
Mind*
“A light is a light, is a light. And Mack, as her friends call her,
has shone at every stage: the winsome child, the actress-to-be, the
churlish star, and even the anodyne who got lost and
clawed her way back from the surface of Mars. With
a wisdom that mines the core stuff of life, or Hope,
as the key that unlocks
anyone’s near impenetrable fortress of addiction. But,
see? Little Laura has done it! And it’s shared here with every
word of Hopeful Healing.”
*Billy Corgan, cofounder of the Smashing Pumpkins, poet,
contrarian*
