Description

'The police officer stormed into Circuit City shouting, 'Freeze! You're under arrest!' He pulled my arms behind my back and handcuffed me. In a matter of minutes, I was escorted out of the store and placed in the backseat of the police car. I imagined what the gathering audience was thinking. 'Oh, look at Miss White Woman in her blue and white tennis dress wearing handcuffs.'' Forty-year-old Veronika seemed to have it all: a home in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons, a nursing job she loved, and the nice things she'd always wanted. But she still couldn't find the approval she secretly sought. Soon her life was spiraling out of control, and she found herself in the one place she never expected to be: prison. Two years later, when Veronika is released, she finds her world is still upside down. She turns to the bottle to soothe away her pain and soon ends up on the same path as her husbanda "that of an alcoholic. But unlike her husband, she finally turns to Alcoholics Anonymous and God for help. Just as she's beginning to feel confident and on track again, a family tragedy takes her back to her past, where she realizes she has more to face than alcohol addiction. Join Veronika on this compelling, inspiring journey to breaking free of the chains of the past and learning how You Have the Right to Remain Silent."
