I recently had the privilege of speaking with Patti Clark - Author, author of Recovery Road Trip. Part recovery journal, part travelogue, her book chronicles one woman’s solo road trip across America after the loss of her alcoholic father. Along the way, through unexpected encounters, she discovers hope and inspiration for overcoming addiction and finding one’s path in life.
