About the Book

Chasing Serenity, an intimate and mystical tale, is personal, relatable, moving, and immensely readable. It is an inspiring and thought-provoking book that approaches addiction and codependence from a perspective that many may not consider. Author A. O. Sullivan recounts the tale of Maya C., who finds herself on a mythical, allegorical journey of self-discovery and recovery after she picks up her son, Frankie, from jail. If her son is to integrate into the "real" world, she must confront her own demons, and thus learns to use the unseen forces of universe to heal their relationship damaged by years of drug addiction. Determined to bring her son back from his self inflicted hell and understand how she created the "monster", as one therapist put it, she goes deep into the wicked web of her psyche during her walks in the woods. When her son gets arrested again, and Frankie's father, Cody, bails him out, she sinks even deeper into despair. The charges seem trumped up as he was pulled over for wearing a red hat! Just as she is wondering how she is going to be the hero in her own story, she encounters Vulture who tells her to rise above the drudgery of every day life through spirit. Saddled with the residual anger from years of Frankie's drug addict behavior, Maya realizes that she out of her league trying to run up against the legal system, medical establishment, and the marginalization associated with people with drug and alcohol problems. She hobbles along trying not to fall into the familiar codependent patterns and manages to relax enough to have some meaningful conversations with her beloved though deeply troubled son. At last Maya realizes that she is not alone and that addiction is a huge problem that needs national attention. She manages to get a spot on The Night Owl Show disguised as Cassandra to talk about substance abuse among our young people, and to share what she has discovered about the roots of addiction. Chasing Serenity takes you on a suspenseful and mysterious ride oscillating between the drudgery of real life legal battles, deep friendships with the Circle Sisters, and encounters with natural and archetypal personifications like Raven and Darkness who assist her in repairing her own broken heart, mending her fragmented family and confronting the stigma of drug addiction.
