TY'S OVER? Kathleen Janson was the life of the party. She seemed to have it all, until she realized she was just surviving the chaos created over and over again. Chasing acceptance through alcohol, drugs, and sex, true contentment was always just out of reach. When she finally surrendered and admitted that she was a modern-day Mary Magdalene, Jesus met her with love, grace, and freedom. THE GIFT OF DESPERATION is one woman's true story of coming to the end of herself and her addiction/alcoholism to find that her greatest gift was the wreckage she left behind.
