CLAYTON’S FREE
The Healing Journey of a Mother and a Lover

by Dorothy Garlough

Narrated by: Dorothy Garlough

Production by: Dorothy Garlough

From Pain to Peace!

Pain, trauma, devastating loss, or sadness is not the cornerstone of this book. Instead, it focuses on the journey of two women who loved unconditionally and details the miracles they experienced during their acceptance and healing. It also emphasizes the importance of creating healthy living environments and offering support to those in need while highlighting the overwhelming inadequacies of current mental health care.

The author, Dorothy Garlough briefly touches on the story of Clayton’s choice to pass from this world and the pain she endures from his choice. Rather than focusing on the pain this creates for her and her son’s girlfriend, she chooses to address the journey the two women take to recover from this devastating loss. She explores the good of Clayton’s short time and the signs she encounters that project hope and joy – the belief that his energy cannot die but remains and joins with other energy in the world – seeing his presence in the quiet, calmness, and chaos around her. This book is meant to bring peace and it does, but not before hearing and feeling the heart-wrenching fear that all parents and loved ones pray never to experience.

As the narrator, Dorothy Garlough shares her journey from pain to joy and, ultimately, peace in this book. She offers listeners an intimate look inside, allowing them to experience the story’s authenticity firsthand. Dorothy Garlough articulates her journey with clarity while maintaining a restrained yet palpable emotion.

While I do not enjoy emotional, tear-inducing books, this touches on a situation I am currently dealing with. Her insight and sincerity are encouraging and provide comfort. I am grateful for having this opportunity to learn from her.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.
