Publisher's Summary
In this stunning tale of life and living, Tina Ruysseveldt redefines the meaning of self-care as she takes you on the journey she has travelled as both the patient and the health care professional to the other side of both addictions and cancer.
By sharing her story and her truth, the listener is both challenged and assisted as they embark on their own destined path of wellness. This book represents her effort to share what she has learned and as a roadmap to help listeners grow and evolve as they find their own courage to be true, and set their best self free.
Tina Ruysseveldt’s rise from a neglected childhood in an abusive alcoholic home to a career as a respected Canadian nurse is a breath-taking tribute to the power of the human spirit.
Told with rigorous honesty, this memoir takes listeners on Tina’s gripping journey through her life of substance abuse and then, ultimately, towards a state of wellbeing she would have considered unimaginable in her youth.
Hear how Tina’s LiveWell Recipe for self-care helped save her from alcoholism and later helped her recover from the deadly cancer that nearly took her life. And soak up this book’s important reminder that there is hope for everyone.

John S (AA member and 2 times cancer patient)
Tina's book is a great resource for anyone suffering from addiction issues, it's filled with personal insight, practical wisdom and highlights the many aspects of the AA program which not only help us to get and stay sober but also give to us a quality of living we never would have thought possible and the strength to survive any adversities we may encounter in our lives moving forward including cancer!!!"

Courage, Hope and a Path Forward
Tina's speaks to me of courage, hope and a pathway forward - you are incredible and inspiring!
Her individual story is an access point to reflect on the brokenness of our systems and the impact our early years has on later life health outcomes in our communities.

A vital read especially for other Indigenous women
It is exceedingly rare to hear a quit-lit voice like Tina's. The daughter of an Indigenous woman, her upbringing was charred by the corrosive impacts of a neglectful and abusive childhood. Miraculously, she survived and is now thriving as an educator, author, and speaker who lives to help others do the same. The Courage to Be True is an honest, authentic, heartfelt, and beautifully written testimony of possibility; there is a way out of despair, starting with one little step. I highly recommend this book, which includes a compelling and relevant guiding question at the end of each chapter. Buy this book and listen to it today! Dr. Amie Wolf
