Reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite

The Road Back to Me: Healing and Recovering From Co-dependency, Addiction, Enabling, and Low Self Esteem by Lisa A. Romano is a book about recovery and healing. The author takes readers on a journey through her past where she speaks about her past traumas, dysfunctional life, and low self esteem caused by living in unhappy surroundings. A turning point happens in her life many years later and she finds herself recovering from addictions, relationships, food, fear, and anxiety. The book is an inspirational guide that will motivate readers tied to memories of their traumatic past to heal and move on to a better future.

The book is profound and insightful and the author's words are very powerful. The message will motivate readers to bring about changes in their lives in a positive manner. It is a book that is ideal for those readers who are living in or who have lived in dysfunctional surroundings. It is an eye-opener and the author's honest approach towards her life is encouraging. Forgiveness is important when it comes to healing and that is another aspect the author covers in this book. I would recommend this book for children living with alcoholic parents because it speaks about the emotional effects alcoholism can have on children.

It is a story of courage and strength on the author's part to break free from programming by her family circumstances and start anew. An inspirational book that will help to change your perspective on living in many ways.
