What you've been through makes you who you are. But you can also become the person you want to be by being active in your growth.

Author Lori Lewicki grew up the daughter of a Vietnam vet, had a baby fresh out of high school, and searched for love, acceptance, and a place where she could help others heal while healing herself. Her path has taken her through divorce, disease, and despair, but it has also led her to hope, love, and happiness.

Lori's tale isn't unusual among nurses, the men and women who hold our hands through our worst, uplifting us, caring for us, and helping us transition to another realm. These people are often the givers, those who give and give and give until there is nothing left for themselves. Or even their families.

Surviving Shit Creek is about the hope that guides us and how we navigate the rough waters to get to where our dreams happen, often without a paddle. As the Lighthouse Nurse, Lori provides a light to guide other nurses through those rapids, showing them that getting through the toughest times can lead us to a peace that we deserve, if we know the path to take.

We all need to do our own healing so we can enjoy our lives and give more when we want to, but nurses especially need to step into their role as healers for themselves so they can love being a nurse, even on the toughest days.

Lori's real and raw account of her personal journey lays open the challenges of her profession and the people who live it while demonstrating her determination to live her dreams.

Reviews for Surviving Sh!t Creek: One Nurse's Story of Breakdowns, Breakthroughs, and Transformation

"""Life can be unpleasantly complex, but there is always hope. I love that Lori Ann Lewicki wrote Surviving Shit Creek in such an authentic way, showing us that you really can get through the storms and come out on the other side of the rainbow. As someone who has also been through her fair share of trials, I appreciate how she shared all her emotions along the way and challenges the reader to change their thinking with incremental shifts to better their lives. We all deserve to be happy, and I think that's the biggest takeaway. This is a great book, especially for those in healthcare, to make sure they are taking care of themselves so they can then also support the people who need them most."" Jennifer Silbaugh, Author of A Dove in the Shadows: My Mental Health Recovery Journey from Patient to Professional""Lori Ann Lewicki clearly has a passion for helping nurses love themselves and fall back in love with their jobs. The transparency and vulnerability shared in her book forced me to look inside and become more self-aware of my own thoughts and feelings, even the ones that at times feel uncomfortable. Growing through challenges is a lesson everyone will have to eventually learn, and Lori's book will help you through the process by seeing firsthand what it looks like to find the lesson in anger, frustration, and dark emotions, knowing that those feelings won't last forever. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to rediscover the power and passion within themselves!""
