Hi, I’m Michelle Palmer from . How can I help?

In Unshamed and Unfinished, the heart of the story is my journey through addiction, recovery, and redemption. I walk through the darkness honestly so readers can see that recovery is possible and that shame does not get the final word.

Major themes that run through both memoirs include:

  1. Breaking silence and secrecy around addiction
  2. Healing from trauma and regret
  3. The messy, ongoing nature of recovery (hence Unfinished)
  4. Hope, courage, and using my story to encourage others

Both books are meant to make healing louder than shame and help readers feel less alone on their own journeys.

Is there a particular theme you are most interested in—addiction, family, recovery, or something else?
