Book Signing in Syster Hall

Syster Hall 1031 S. Euclid Ave., Sarasota, FL, United States

Following worship on June 1st, there will be a book signing and brief discussion about Dawn and Liz’s recently released book Searching for Dawn: A Journey from Chaos to Recovery
Mental Illness
Substance Abuse
Trauma and the Criminal Justice System

The ultimate purpose for writing their book was to find healing while illustrating, in a deeply personal way, why there is a need for criminal justice reform. In alternating chapters, Dawn and Liz boldly share their struggles through the web of mental illness, addiction, and the criminal justice system. While Dawn finds herself doing time in a solitary confinement cell in San Jose, California, her mother is serving as pastor of a church in Brooklyn, New York that was founded by formerly incarcerated persons and their families and supporters. Through faith, love, and the power of supportive communities, Dawn and Liz find new life in the midst of crisis and despair. It is a story of universal significance in these critical times. The cost of the book is $14.99 and is available on Amazon.
