Dear Son, I'm going to tell you a story, the most difficult one to share.
As a young Latina and Native American lawyer and former wife of California's attorney general and treasurer, Nadia Davis has long been subjected to public scrutiny. In this powerful homage to finding one's worth in the face of mental health struggles, addiction, and public shaming, Davis shares her remarkable story. She reveals the depths of the darkness she went through, while gracefully offering transformational healing and an end to the choking grasp of shame. Lyrical and captivating, Home Is Within You recounts the author's experience of trauma and addiction amid a highly publicized abusive relationship. Davis is brutally honest about her experiences and generous in revealing the paths she found to wholeness through spiritual advocacy, healthy co-parenting, and a dedication to preventing generational trauma. Home Is Within You shares one woman's courageous journey to recovery as a mother and as a woman, and her narrative is a defense of privacy, parenthood, and autonomy.
