Rising Above Hell

A Memoir by Jessie Tylre Williams

"I didn't know rock bottom had a basement."

This is not a self-help book. It is not polished into something comfortable. It is one woman's honest account of addiction, trauma, and what it actually takes to come back — told in her own voice, without apology.

Written for the women who were told they were too broken to be saved. Written for the ones still in it. Written as proof that survival is possible.
