Rising Above Hell memoir by Jessie Tylre Williams

About the Book

This is not a self-help book. It does not offer you a tidy list of steps and send you on your way. It does not flinch at the ugly parts. It does not pretend that recovery is a straight line or that survival comes without cost.

What it does is tell the truth. Rising Above Hell is the memoir of Jessie Tylre Williams — a woman who went through addiction, trauma, loss, physical devastation, and more than one moment where survival felt impossible.

It is written in her own voice, raw and unfiltered, for the people who are still in it and need proof that coming back is possible.

Not someone else's proof. Real proof. From someone who has actually been there.
