She\u2019s now the owner of over a dozen coffee stands and restaurants in Spokane, Washington.<\/p>\n<p>A child drug addict whose early life was marked by tragedy, Birnel careened through life, looking for escape anywhere she could find it. Living on the streets, doing drugs and engaging in a series of destructive relationships left her pregnant and eventually imprisoned.<\/p>\n<p>But when she was 22 and in prison for the second time, Birnel had the epiphany that there was something else out there for her\u2014an existence that was less about surviving and more about thriving. Determined to turn life around\u2014for both herself and her children\u2014Birnel vowed to defeat drug addiction, choose her own health and trust her instincts. Since then, she\u2019s built a happy family, in turn providing her children with safety, support and the knowledge that anything is possible if you take control of your own life and destiny.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring, Birnel\u2019s memoir serves as a model for anyone who believes they can\u2019t escape their past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost debut authors think their personal stories are fascinating when they\u2019re not all that dramatic,\u201d says publisher Anna David. \u201cSarah, meanwhile, seems to have no idea just how wild her experiences are and what an inspiring person she is.
