Julie Garlock shares her heartbreaking journey of loss, addiction, and healing after a tragic car accident that claimed her husband and daughter.

Julie opens up with incredible honesty about the years she and Troy spent battling addiction, the unconventional healing modalities that transformed their lives, the heartbreaking phone call that shattered her world, and the miraculous survival of their daughter, Mabel.
