Praise for Ms. Austin’s book, Smell the Raindrops: One Young Woman’s Journey through Life, Love, and Recovery :
“An engrossing memoir by a woman of privilege whose circumstances enabled her to embrace the less fortunate, and who ultimately met and fought her demons heroically, solidifying her faith and love for her family. A powerful, passionately told story that will appeal to anyone who relishes stories of courage and conviction. Of particular interest to readers who are interested in addiction/recovery.” —Midwest Book Review
