REAL LIFE DICHOTOMY –
By Felicia Naoum
Mary Beth O’Connor has a unique story, one that bridges the gap between the worlds of trauma, addiction, and success. It is not every day that you hear of an individual struggling with drug addiction becoming a federal judge, published writer, and drug addiction advocate. Her story is a real-life dichotomy.
This retired judge may now be on the right side of the law, but her personal struggles prove that even those who end up on the right side of the law are still human. Here’s to recovery, second chances, a dialogue that embraces honesty and change, and turning your pain into power.
Mary Beth’s memoir, From Junkie to Judge: One Woman’s Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction, is available to order from booksellers everywhere.
