Rise Together: The Art of Climbing Out of the Ditch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986488066)

In a roadside ditch, Laquita Dian was face-to-face with no one but herself and the dirt. She was demoralized, dehydrated, and dry heaving due to a three-day alcohol binge.

The gravity of her situation was crushing. She had just been released from jail after an arrest for drunk driving. Her son was facing a life-altering spinal cord injury. Her daughter was slipping into the grip of self-destruction.

In her darkest moment, an act of kindness from a stranger sparked a realization that would change everything:

We rise by lifting others.

Rise Together documents Laquita's artful embrace of her role as a caregiver. Through vivid storytelling and raw honesty, she shares her colorful journey from the depths of despair to profound purpose, healing, and self-discovery. Led by a clear why-her love for her children-they discovered how to transform their adversities into a driving force of self-improvement and profound purpose. A true alchemy of Me to We.

This isn't just a saga of struggle. It's a story of hope-full of practical and actionable insights based on decades of hands-on experience with trauma recovery.

Laquita's spirit is a lit candle for anyone who finds themselves trapped in the darkness of adversity. Her odyssey shows us that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, there is always a path forward.
