Locked Behind an Open Door is, in essence, a love story about a parent's love for their child. When the connection to them is severed, be it by estrangement, death, or other extenuating circumstances, the blow is devastating. This is Michale's personal story. It is about the three-year search for her 20-year-old son, Jeff, who had become addicted to drugs and seemingly vanished from the earth. The juxtaposition of his missing status and her debilitating panic attacks with agoraphobic features (fear of leaving home), propelled Michale into a battle with her personal demons, which had plagued her since the age of 25. How would she make the 18-hour drive from Northern Oregon to Southern California, where Jeff was last seen, when she couldn't drive further than a ten-mile radius from her home? Rock, meet hard place, meet Michale. This is a story of hope, a tale of the two warring factions of love and fear, and the winner-take-all power of the heart.
Praise for Locked Behind an Open Door:
"Michale's honesty astonished me, and her journey is not only deeply moving but quietly instructive. She is a natural teacher, uplifting and not self-serving. We go with her from lonely inner struggles to unexpected and heart-quickening adventures, and I relished every step of the way." Randi Klein, Educator
"A page-turning masterpiece of honesty and bravery, this book recounts the extraordinary story of a mother's strength to save her son while forced to confront her own worst fears. Beautifully written, it's a harrowing testament to the power of love and resilience." Andrea Kaplan
"This is the story of a dreamer who got blindsided by a panic disorder so fierce it trapped her inside her home for almost two years. When her son went missing, with fear screaming in her head, and hope whispering in her ears, panic attacks and all, she set out to find him. This fabulous read reminds us that love truly does conquer all." Todd Kelley, Financial Advisor
