You might think you've heard it all before, but not like this. I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing power of Lisa Thomas's story. For years, I have watched Lisa walk this walk.

Experience can't be taught. This 'been there, done that' life story provides a roadmap of how one's life experience can move to the abyss of addiction then transform to a life with a purpose and passion to teach others there is a better way.

Lisa will open your eyes and help you understand the reality of addiction and how to stay committed to positive achievement.

Honest. Searingly honest. Lisa pulls no punches as she describes her years as a junkie. It's tough, painful stuff. You will cheer and marvel at Lisa's redemption. Her story is gripping and inspirational.

Lisa gets to the heart of the matter! Empowering, educational and real

I was captivated by Lisa's story and her ability to overcome addiction. She is a natural communicator and an inspiring picture of transformation.

Lisa Kratz Thomas has written a book of astounding honesty, genuine passion and explicit guidelines for anyone concerned with addictive behavior and recovery. Her story inspires and gives hope while exposing the real despair of substance abuse and addiction.

Lisa showed [our VADOC employees] that with effort they can make a difference, even if it's just one person at a time. She certainly inspired us. Her words speak volumes.

I am thankful for Lisa’s courage to share her life story, the consequences she endured along the way and the blessings that come from a relationship with our Savior.   I don’t remember a longer line at the end of the program to meet Lisa and to purchase her book!  Hope to work with Lisa again in Michigan very soon

Thank you for your stirring presentation at the VA Women in Corrections Conference.  Not only did we receive positive feedback about your presentation on the evaluations, it was heartwarming to see so many of my colleagues moved by your words.  I saw women both smiling and crying, and the standing ovation you received is a testimony to how impressed these ladies were.  Thank you for the inspiration!
