Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on "Dragons and Butterflies." Your insights into the author's journey and the impact of his story on your experience truly mean a lot to everyone.
I am thrilled to hear that you found the audiobook format engaging and that his narration resonated with you. It was important for him to convey his experiences authentically, and I’m glad that you felt the honesty and emotion behind his words.
Your recognition of the Twelve Step Program and A Course in Miracles as pivotal elements in his recovery journey is especially appreciated. He probably wrote this memoir with the hope of inspiring others who may be facing similar challenges, and it's heartening to know that you believe it can serve as motivation for those struggling with addiction.
I also appreciate your kind words about the role of his high school English teacher. It’s a reminder of how influential educators can be in shaping lives.
Your five-star rating is incredibly encouraging, and I hope that this story continues to reach and inspire many more readers.
Blessings to you, and thank you once again for your thoughtful review!
Warm regards,

I also understand from this review that Calloway, the author, narrates the story as a way to motivate people, suggesting that challenging experiences like child abuse can be transformed into positive influences for a successful future. However, what I don’t understand from this review is how the author can be both successful and an addict simultaneously as a result of their childhood abuse.
