“Prior Restraints,” Catherine J. Mahony’s first chapbook, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com. All proceeds from the book will be used to assist addicts and alcoholics on their path to recovery.
This collection brings the hopeful message of recovery from addiction through Mahony’s own experiences, from her time as a homeless heroin addict to a psychiatric ward inpatient to a college graduate with many accomplishments and a fulfilled life.
Stunning photographs by Tamie S. Dickson represent the powerful words.
Mahony is available for speaking engagements and offers a therapeutic writing program to prison inmates and patients in treatment facilities. She has shared her story at two local recovery facilities and with female inmates at Berks County Prison. She can be contacted at cj.mahony@yahoo.com
