Kristina with a K: A Rainbow Person's Journey from Addiction to Recovery is an explosive expose into the lives of LGBTQ people experiencing addiction. Told from the first-person perspective, Kristina takes readers through her harrowing life as a gang member and a person with addiction. Her descriptions of the tragic episodes of her early life, her coming out process, her struggles with gender identity, and her life in recovery come from her heart and are celebrated as milestones to becoming her authentic self. From the lows of horrific intimate partner violence, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, to the highs of getting sober, leaving the "gang life," graduating college, and devoting her professional life to helping others, Kristina leaves no stone unturned. Kristina's personal story sheds light on what many young LGBTQ people with addiction experience. She shares the chapters of her life and then presents carefully researched explanations as to why LGBTQ individuals face the challenges they do with regard to substance use disorder. In each aspect, Kristina serves as inspiration as someone who has overcome great odds to turn her life into a productive and loving example of recovery.
