I don't usually post things on the topic of this book, because I usually don't go "places" on the Internet where I'm likely to find books like this. I happened to come across this one, however. It had a glowing review.
I did some more investigation and have come to the conclusion myself that this is an exceptional book. Despite the fact that it is self-published, it is the #1 best seller at Amazon in Sociology of Marriage & Family. It received the "2014 Bronze Medal for Best Memoir." Out of 104 reviews, it has received an amazing 4.9 stars out of 5! Be sure to read the praise for the book, under "Review" on the Amazon webpage.

Book Description
Ten years ago a Mississippi house and marriage violently disintegrate in one week. Abandoned by her husband at 32, Julie is left alone to raise an infant in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath. Surrounded by the rubble of her life, she's stripped by love and loss. What happens when one woman loses everything?
NAKED is Freed's debut memoir about shattered dreams, rising dark clouds of addiction and divorce, and a violent surge of nature. It is also about family ties, survival, recovery, and one mother's iron will to care for her infant daughter in the face of destruction. The indomitable spirit of one family and a Southern community rise above and find new ways to deal with what life and Mother Nature present.
