Publisher's Synopsis
Vicky S. Riley is familiar with the look. It's the glare of disdain people reserve for those whose bodies' walls conceal the spirit within. For Riley, the look came because of her weight. It was a revelation when she realized the person who gave her the look most often was staring back at her in the mirror.
Riley invites you to tour the inner mansion where her spirit lives, hidden deep within her. The rooms and hallways of her mansion will be familiar to many who struggle with addictive behaviors, whether it manifests as food, drug, alcohol, or some other addiction.
Like Riley, we all have internal rooms within our homes-one to which we may not possess the keys needed to change our behavior and invite others inside. Like Riley, you may have a hallway of boredom, where insistent thoughts invite you to indulge. Perhaps your homes's living room is filled with lonely, empty chairs, or you have guest rooms filled with opinions forced upon you by outsiders.
Whatever the state of your inner home, it's yours alone, and it's not all bad. You can renovate rooms that encourage addiction and self-doubt, transforming the negative into something self-affirming and positive.
