Shed shame and heal.

Our powerful new title, Without Shame by Barbara Theodosiou, is now available!

Without Shame shares the perspectives of a mom, stepfather, sister, and brothers dealing with addiction and co-occurring disorders in their family. This honest narrative account of multigenerational addiction and trauma reveals what it truly means to describe addiction as a family disease.
