She found sobriety and a new life after going to a counselor for help with a troubled relationship. She shaped a new genre of meditation books out of a private nightly practice of journaling her thoughts--her first book Each Day a New Beginning sold over 3 million copies, became a paradigm for hundreds of other writers, and remains a staple for many women in recovery.

Eventually, Casey came to see suicide as the only answer. On the very day she was ready to end her struggle, a stranger carrying a lifesaving message of hope knocked at her door.
