YORBA LINDA, Calif., Jan. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Author Judith Goffin maintained a deep awareness of individuals struggling through intense recovery issues during her 25 years as a public relations consultant to medical institutions and nonprofit organizations. These healthcare providers served families and individuals caught up in issues that revolved around substance and alcohol abuse, child abuse, aging and mental health problems.
Goffin said, "I had the opportunity to interview hundreds of individuals in recovery -- I heard their pain and saw the look of hopelessness in their eyes."
"I felt it was important to write The Path of Discovery -- Exploring, Growing and Making Life's Choices to let people know they are not alone and can learn to make good life's choices and reach optimum personal success and perhaps, even happiness," she added. (www.JudithGoffin.com)
The Path of Discovery -- Exploring, Growing and Making Life's Choices is a collection of poetry and prose, written over a five-year period. The words are directed to all those who have experienced self-doubt, insecurity, low self-esteem, difficulty in making good life decisions and for people struggling through recovery.
The book touches on many topics -- childhood, adulthood, and aging; relationships, loss, inspiration, and love and laughter. Author, Judith Goffin says, "It is my intent that this collection will be of value to those determined to be in charge of their feelings and, most importantly, their lives."
