"One Petal at a Time is A Journey of Healing and Resilience

In ""One Petal at a Time,"" Joni Caggiano invites readers into the raw and poignant landscape of her journey as an Adult Child of Alcoholics. From a childhood fraught with unpredictability and fear, Joni's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope in the face of adversity.

Growing up in an environment marked by mental and physical abuse, Joni learned early on to navigate the treacherous waters of uncertainty. With dangers lurking around every corner, she turned to humor as a survival tactic, using laughter as a shield against the darkness that threatened to engulf her.

But beneath the facade of laughter lies a soul burdened by fear and self-doubt. Trapped in a cycle of dogmatism and low self-esteem, Joni struggles to find her footing in a world that seems intent on tearing her down.

As she grapples with the demons of her past, Joni learns to embrace vulnerability as a path to healing. Through introspection and self-discovery, she untangles the knots of her trauma, one petal at a time.

""One Petal at a Time"" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-love. Readers are reminded, through Joni's journey, that healing is possible, even in the darkest of times, and that every step forward is a victory worth celebrating.

Endorsed by Claudia Black, PhD - Pioneer in the study of dysfunctional family systems shaped by alcohol and addictive disorders.

Expressed with such raw emotion and honesty, this is an incredibly powerful book for any reader, but if you grew up in a family impacted by substance addiction, you will identify with the pain in childhood and the joy that comes with the author's healing and recovery.
