 Praise for Sandpaper Sisters

Michele McKnight Baker's beautifully written book tells an important story of addiction, recovery and spiritual healing. It is inspirational.
--Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia, Letters to a Young Therapist, and other best sellers

“Sandpaper Sisters reminds us yet again of the immense power of “community” to support, nurture and improve the odds for even those facing the toughest of situations. May the lessons of New Life for Girls inspire us all to become community builders and to surround our children and families with the caring communities they deserve.”
—Mrs. Alma Powell, Chair of America’s Promise—The Alliance for Youth

Why suffer alone? Those of us who are affected keep it hidden, but the statistics confirm that we do not suffer alone. (For more about Sandpaper Sisters, click here.)
