“SJ captures the struggle of addiction and the human condition like no other author I've read. His words touch me, making me think about my own struggles and force me to take a deep dive into my own "stuff". Having his work all wrapped up into a book that I can carry around and share with others is a dream come true! I am anxiously awaiting his next project.”
– Jen F. (Canada)
