Author Bio:
My name is Lorelie Rozzano and I'm a recovering addict. Seventeen
years ago I took the most difficult walk of my life –
through the doors of a local treatment centre. I found in
recovery, what I’d
been looking for in alcohol and drugs. Finally, my skin fit! I'm an
author, mother, wife, grandmother, foster parent, sister, family
counsellor and daughter. Growing up in an alcoholic home I understand
first-hand, the importance of a healthy family. I began working at
the Edgewood Treatment Centre for addiction in 1998 and have had the
privilege of working with both patients and their families. I'm
passionate about helping others whose lives like mine, have been
affected by addiction. In the past few years I've created a blog,
Jagged Little Edges –
living in a world of hope, and written three fiction books:
Gracie’s Secret,
Jagged Little Edges, and Jagged Little Lies. My hope is that the
honesty found in my books and and on my blog, will help those dealing
with unhealthy behaviours and addiction. After all, I truly believe
if I can get clean, anyone can. I'm currently working on book three
in the Jagged series

Meet Grace. At nine years old she has a
big secret. Grace knows first-hand that life can be difficult. Her
parents aren't very happy. Their arguing is giving her a stomach
ache. She spends a lot of time alone, worrying. Are her parents
problems her fault? Had she done something wrong? Grace pretends
everything is fine, but it's not. She feels helpless and has learned
that making things up is easier than telling the truth. One big
question haunts her every day. Will her family ever be happy again?
This book is perfect for a child with a
difficult home life. Divorce, addiction, mental health issues and
more can cause children to feel alone, anxious and afraid. Gracie's
Secret addresses this by showing kids they aren't alone, and that
they can feel better. With a workbook section for kids to understand
their own issues and a message that talking to a safe person will
help, Gracie's story can help kids cope.
Excerpt:
"Grace wished she could take
Cameron and run far away. She held him close and hummed, hoping to
cover the noise of their parent's yelling so he could fall asleep.
Her stomach was hurting again.
The raised voices below them were
joined by a crash. She plugged her ears.
Her bedroom was so dark she thought it
might swallow her up.
Grace closed her eyes, trying to stay
calm as she imagined what was going downstairs. Her eyes blinked back
open, not able to stay closed. She remained upright in bed for most
the night."
