Rooted in Pain, Rising in Purpose

She survived molestation, addiction, and a family torn apart by dysfunction and then she wrote every word of it down so you wouldn't have to face yours alone. Marlene Essence Dotts joins People of Distinction to discuss her raw, redemptive memoir Coming Out of the Woods. A book that wasn't written for fame, but to save lives. Eight years sober and still showing up for others, Marlene's story is proof that clarity isn't gifted, it's carved out of the very things meant to destroy you.
