“Out Of The Fog!” is for those seeking a happy and joyous life, free from addiction. This is the inspiring story of a 35-year old woman who had everything— until Demon Rum crept in to steal it all away. The author shares how she learned to shove fear aside and step into a rewarding adventurous life. At 8 years sober, Smith buys a sailboat, teaches herself to sail, and embarks, mostly alone, sometimes with her rebellious teenaged daughter, on a 7-year spiritual odyssey in the Pacific. She follows the constellations (until a fellow boater points out that they move!) from San Francisco to the Polynesian Triangle somewhere off Easter Island. Smith's book offers a heart-warming, sometimes terrifying testament to triumph over adversity.
“Out of the Fog!” provides painful but compelling insights into overcoming addiction as well as solving mother-daughter issues. The book illustrates the power of hope, faith and courage in facing the challenges of recovery and in healing fragile relationships.
