The Art of Climbing Out of the Ditch” Chronicles a Journey from Personal Wreckage to Purpose

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATE, April 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In her compelling new memoir, “Rise Together: The Art of Climbing Out of the Ditch,” author Laquita Dian unveils a gripping tale of a mother and her children in crisis, faced with overwhelming adversity, with seemingly no way forward.

Laquita Dian’s life seemed to spiral out of control with her young son confronting a life-altering spinal cord injury and her daughter slipping into the grip of self destruction. As if that wasn’t enough, battling trauma, alcoholism and depression, she found herself at her lowest point, collapsed in a roadside ditch after being released from jail for drunk driving.

But it was in this bleak moment that a glimmer of hope emerged. A simple act of kindness from a stranger ignited a realization within Laquita: that the key to rising is by lifting others.

“Rise Together” is not just a saga of struggle; it is proof of the transformative power of love, resilience, and action. Through vivid storytelling and raw honesty, Laquita shares her journey from the depths of despair to profound purpose, healing, and self-discovery.

Readers will find practical and actionable insights based on decades of hands-on experience with trauma recovery. Laquita’s spirit is a lit candle for anyone who finds themselves trapped in the darkness of adversity. Her odyssey shows us that no matter how dire the circumstances may seem, there is always a path forward.

A portion of the proceeds of “Rise Together” benefit The Adversity Into Adventure Foundation, a high impact resource for creating life-enhancing opportunities for a Diverse-Abled (TM) world.

“Rise Together: The Art of Climbing Out of the Ditch” is available now on Amazon.
