I wrote this book for me, the way it happened, and so maybe it's also for you. I learned that rehab is not just about helping people. The help is there, if you need it-but you have to be able to pay for it. If you can't, and you really need help, then you are in a world of trouble. If you can pay, then maybe there will always be a reason to get you in. In my case, I had to go-or end my career. I was lucky because I could pay, so I can continue the work I have chosen and love. I met some good people and fine counselors, and learned some useful things. But it wasn't all benevolent-much was dogmatic, and sometimes malicious. At times, the rehab providers wielded their clout in a nasty way. I resisted, then submitted, and then complied, learning what I could along the way. And I wrote it down. This is the story.

Does anyone really know anyone? Do you ever understand or know what people are thinking? People usually make decisions based on the moment, not thinking of the future. What do you do when something happens in your life, one that you have no control over? How do you handle it? Just ask Artillia aka Arty. What happens when the one she loves and trusts has secrets, and what happens when the secrets and lies are discovered? How does she handle the hurt and betrayal?

Lives pivot on small moments, but which way they pivot is up to the person. Jane Marlow's second book in her moving Petrovo Series is a powerful story of war told in intimate, human terms that will enthrall both male and female audiences. Andrey enters his final year of medical studies in 1854 with an empty belly, empty pockets, and secondhand clothes hanging together by wishful thinking. When Russia blunders into the misbegotten Crimean War, Tsar Nicholas recruits medical students to the front, and Andrey grabs at this flash of good luck. But his sanity is soon tested as he is forced to witness the most senseless and utter disregard for human life imaginable—where the death of a man holds no more significance than the death of a beetle. Andrey fears he is slowly becoming unhinged by the sound and feel of the relentless rasp of his saw against the mangled limbs of soldiers who have had no anesthesia. ​Eventually the guns stop firing, and the ink dries on the peace treaty, but the madness of war doesn’t end for Andrey. Can he stop seeking solace from the vodka bottle? Can he cease being a black well of bottomless cynicism? Can he begin to trust the woman who longs to walk beside him on his journey?

Sometimes things are just so bad that there is no solution if you are honest. This is a perfect example of two honest people that just couldnt make it. So after a large loan from a large local bank in Dallas, Texas, and after a change in latitude, things got progressively better, and success finally smiled on them. They were thankful. They helped many people along their way to becoming successful. Sometimes its just not easy to head in the right direction without some help financially to give you that boost that you need so badly in life that raises your attitude to a much higher level that leaves you with only one thing to worry about instead of so many that life forces on us sometimes. Some of it seems to be so unbearable at times that you cant even see any light at the end of that tunnel. But you wait and you hope. And occasionally, that light appears. The moment is at hand.
