Pretty Dark Places
Transforming Trauma, Healing Addiction, and Cultivating an Empowered Life
Part memoir, part meditation on recovery, and part exploration into the powerful world of plant and other natural medicines, Pretty Dark Places is the debut book by author Chrystal Lee. After her wrongful arrest in 2018 made news headlines, Chrystal spiraled into cocaine and alcohol addictions that nearly cost her everything.
With a brutally honest, often funny, and always raw approach that shows real vulnerability, Chrystal traces the sources of her trauma; in the process, she provides invaluable insights to anyone struggling with shame, addiction, and recovery.
Chrystal is currently available for speaking engagements.
