With nowhere left to run, her past finally catches up with her, forcing her to confront the trauma that set her down this road so many years ago.From the suburbs of New Jersey to Hawaii’s tropical shores and back again, Breaking Good takes a frank, insightful, and darkly funny look at addiction, the trauma at its core, and the long, winding road to healing and redemption.
