After the darkness, the light always comes. 
A TRUE STORY. For Annie North, the light came from strangers in the shadows, one text at a time. When her marriage ended, Annie found herself alone, save for three small children and a cellphone. After a trial of therapy and antidepressants, she moved on to her own brand of psychoanalysis: making up stories and presenting them to men she met through texting. By inventing new characters within herself, she became a powerful muse for her men and in return, their love for her was the strength she needed to become the woman she had been looking for. In a world of byte-sized social media, instant-gratification, one-click dating apps, Annie's sometimes shocking memoir takes us on a journey of love, adventure, possibility, and opportunity as she uncovers the men behind the texts, and in so doing, she reveals herself. This is a unique and honest account of the lies that needed to be told in order to bring the truth forward, 
"In ways I wouldn't have imagined, Annie's story offers nourishment to any woman struggling with the overwhelming demands of modern life. With humor and honesty, d104ual Healing shows that love is all around us, whether we're looking for it or not." - Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Happy for No Reason, Love For No Reason, Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul

"I was hanging around backstage with Sinatra’s band...”
That’s just the tip of the iceberg in Pete Kennedy’s kaleidoscopic musical career of unforgettable collaborations with many of the giants of pop, classical, and folk music. In Tone, Twang and Taste, he passes along not only that experience, but also the inspiration he drew in his peripatetic half-century on the road. A natural raconteur, Kennedy offers a memoir that is part travel narrative, part musical history, and part behind-the scenes look at a world of fascinating characters. Ultimately, it is a clarion call to his readers to follow their dreams, never stop learning, and do what they love the most.
“As a musician, Pete Kennedy has been there and done that for decades, and now he's telling all the stories that have held his friends spellbound in conversation. Turns out he's as stylish a writer as he is a player. Reading him is as satisfying as hearing a great song.” - Anthony DeCurtis, Author of Lou Reed: A Life
