"We are all healing. We are all in some sort of recovery. I hear people say that in spite of their best efforts, they recycle the same dysfunctional patterns of their parents. This relates to recovery from old wounds. Not just addiction recovery. I am elated that there is a resource like this. Books are usually either informative and intellectual or, 'well, this is my experience.'The TurnAround Mom is written in a way that clients will want to read; it will help them experience their emotions, and give them understandable steps to take to create change and not repeat the past."- -Kathleen E. McKinney
M.S. LPC Child, Adolescent, and Family Psychotherapist

"If you are having 'one of those days', (which, if you are a parent, you are having plenty of) just pick up The TurnAround Mom and read any of Sipp's tips, insights or suggestions...you will see a window of glimmering possibility appear where only a wall of darkness or resignation loomed a minute before."
- Barbara Hannah
MCC The Entrepreneur School, Inc.

"This is the best resource I have seen of its kind. It is the type of insightful and practical book I will readily recommend to my clients dealing with issues of addiction or abuse."
- The Reverend Ron Greer, Ph. D.
Pastoral Counseling

"Carey Sipp courageously uses her story of family addiction and abuse to provide hope and direction to other parents unwilling to continue the cycle of family pain and suffering. Her vignettes and practical advice on parenting, self-care, and other day-to-day challenges will help you create
the family you wanted but never had."
- Jerry Spicer, Ph.D.
Former President, Hazelden Foundation

What the mothers at My Sister’s House say about
Carey Sipp's time with them and The TurnAround Mom:

“I am so appreciative of Carey and how she ministers to the women of My Sister’s House! It is particularly difficult for a mother to be in early recovery and learn how to balance responsibilities of motherhood. She is a shining light of hope for our clients! You are an inspiration! I hope that when I turn 50 I will be as positive as you are.”
– Terry Freeman, Program Director

"Her words hit the core issues of the heart. She explains real life things. I would love a copy of her book b/c I can relate to it. I've quoted lines from the second chapter of her book in my commitment [this is the written commitment each client makes to the community of My Sister's House and to her personal recovery]. The main thing is that she is a success. She who changed things around. She's a great role model for us in treatment. And she catches the attention of EVERY one of us. We hang on every word she says."
