Who We Choose to Be; Lessons from Life (en Inglés) - Gillian Silverthorn

Intensely personal snippets of life from childhood through to sober at sixty.

This memoir takes us on a bittersweet journey of childhood and teenage memories through to the frustration and disillusionment of being thrown into adulthood where we can lose the magic we once knew.

The inspiring story also shows us how alcohol dependency can affect anyone, and what starts as a confidence booster and fun with friends can quickly move to a coping mechanism and a secret solitary daily habit. It's an honest account of brave vulnerability.

Who We Choose to Be is a genuine, relatable courageous journey as Gillian's recognition of being alcohol-dependent leads to a decision to embrace sobriety and live life to the full. Gillian makes us question the path we are on. Ultimately we all must go through the same, be it love or loss, and decide who we choose to be from those lessons we learn.
