Well by Alias In Town, began as a memory book project compiling relative journal entries, poetry, essays and original artwork in an effort to tell the story of a life journey through brokenness to recovery. This activity morphed into an incredibly vulnerable and emotionally raw memoir.
Alias In Town suffers with a chronic illness and used bad coping mechanisms to deal with the changes the illness brought into her life. Those bad coping mechanisms led her to addiction and a suicide attempt.
"Limited solutions, taken to their extreme, took me to a hopeless destination The End. The end of myself." - book excerpt
The author chose the pen name Alias In Town because it is an anagram of her name and because in every town there are alias people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, addiction and depression. The author is one of those people. Those living with chronic illness share many commonalities. Well addresses these commonalities. The book includes information on Identity, Authenticity, Addiction, Coping, Grief and other topics associated with living well while ill.
