My Life with Karma (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637304549)

What does redemption look like?

In My Life with Karma, author Travis Sackett chronicles his life experiences from childhood to police recruit to addict and finally to his eventual recovery. Once labeled a certain way, it becomes nearly impossible to escape these designations. Sackett shows how the friendship offered from a rescue dog helps to provide a path to redemption.

The path to recovery can take many twists and turns as you'll see as Sackett recounts his harrowing true-life events. In this memoir, Sackett portrays the events in his life that left him addicted, suffering from a traumatic brain injury, and jaded by a system that chews people up and spits them out. Despite these difficulties, Travis tells the tale of how the unconditional love of a rescue dog can be a catalyst for meaningful and lasting change.

My Life with Karma explores many deep philosophical topics including:

• The idea of "forever labels" and how they affect the most vulnerable.
• Ease of access to opioids in the US.
• The power of empathy in changing perceptions.
• How being responsible for someone, or something, other than yourself can highlight what is most important in life.

The path to recovery is a long and winding road that is much easier to undertake with a faithful companion at your side!
