From our visitors:

 

I recently had the pleasure of reading the article that (Sara Solovitch) eloquently wrote about Hollie and her recovery from the disease of addiction. I wanted to thank you for writing such an honest piece. Hollie and I were roommates during her entire stay at Chrysalis House and we graduated on the same day, March 22nd. We are great friends and sisters in recovery. I am blessed to know her and truly appreciate what you did. You are a champion for showcasing the hope that people have who choose to live instead of give into the disease of addiction. Most sincerely, Susie Quinn
