Anyone who loves somebody suffering from addiction should pick up Mitchum and Denofio’s 2022 biography, Addicted to Hope: a chronicle of Michelle Mulledy’s life as the wife of an addict.

• A journey into self-discovery and self-confidence, Michelle’s story gives real hope to families supporting loved ones battling addiction.
• Watching her husband build a million-dollar business and then sink to the depths of living homeless on the streets of Boston, Michelle finds her faith and herself.
• While supporting her loved one through recovery and coping with his relapses, Michelle learns the importance of caring for oneself.
• Often in unexpected and wondrous ways, Michelle leaves behind the isolation of addiction to experience the warmth of her spiritual community embracing her.

Endorsement:

"Michelle had the kind of life that most people would have walked away from and never looked back. But even when she was broke, practically homeless, and suddenly a single-parent of three boys, Michelle hoped against all hope. This passion and hope is in the fiber of Michelle's being still today. As Pastors, we have watched Michelle stand and pray for her family, stand for the rights of unborn children, stand in faith through her own physical battles and each time we see hope arise even stronger. Michelle’s not ashamed or embarrassed of her past life, but instead, she recognizes her story as a tool that can give others hope to know, that they too can overcome." (Pastor Charlie & Tamera Muller)

"So glad to see this book come to print. As a Pastor with Victory Christian Church, heading up the jail ministry. I have known Michelle and John for 10 years. This book will touch many lives. I witnessed this firsthand, when Michelle told her side of their story of raising her children while her husband was incarcerated. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, at Albany County Jail, including mine." (Pastor Marty Stanton)

"I am elated to finally see this book come to fruition. I have known both Michelle and her husband for 10 years and have always been in awe of this truly amazing story of both restoration and redemption through the power of Jesus Christ. I know this book will be an incredible source of encouragement to so many and that God is still in the miracle business even today. All the Glory to God." (Darlene Stanton, Pastor Marty Stanton’s wife)
