ABOUT
MY BOOK
From Marching Band to The Glass Rose is the unfiltered, story of Kristin Stanton, told through the surviving pages of her own journals. In brutally honest detail, Kristin recounts her transformation from a small-town high school geeky girl with a promising future to a woman consumed by addiction, abusive relationships, and life on the streets.
These pages capture the highs and the devastating lows from hiking the entire Appalachian Trail and working in hospital emergency rooms to surviving sexual violence, overdoses, and the grip of heroin and crack cocaine. Nothing is censored, and nothing is softened.
Compiled and edited by Lawrence Brennan, the book preserves Kristin’s raw voice and unflinching perspective. It is at once a cautionary tale, a confession, and a testament to the will to survive. For anyone standing at a crossroads or seeking to understand the realities of life on the edge, Kristin’s story offers a rare and unforgettable truth.
