    “Book Descriptions: An honest - and surprisingly funny - book about alcohol and drug abuse for teens (16+), families, those in or thinking about recovery, or those who just love a good roller-coaster ride which concludes with some kick-ass life advice.

    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

    My name is Tracy. I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic. Pretty Wrecked captures the train wreck of my teenage life, but unlike other recovery memoirs it also captures the story about how I got sober and created an amazing life... a life that YOU deserve.

    WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT:

    · PW is NOT a free ride to change. I will motivate you and provide lessons and tools, but there is no hand holding. YOU have to do the hard work. The tools are simple – but they are not easy…

    · PW is NOT for the faint of heart. I cover real, raw, and heartbreaking topics. Saddle up – life is gritty!

    · PW is definitely rated ‘R’ – and I’m NOT going to apologize for my bluntness , cursing, or waste our time with unnecessary fillers.

    · PW is NOT just a book you read and put down. It’s a book that begs to be dog eared, highlighted, circled, and referred back to as you take these lessons and make them your own.

    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 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.
