Veteran standup comic's new book offers survivor's memoir of human trafficking, methamphetamine ...
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (MMD Newswire) September 15, 2010 -- Never Give in to Fear is a memoir which includes harrowing adventures and upbeat, humorous insights into dangerous situations and people.
Marti MacGibbon was an emerging standup comic with a scheduled appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, when she became entangled in the San Francisco drug culture. She was held captive by human traffickers in Japan but managed to escape to the United States. As she struggled with fear and addiction, her experiences in the schizoid world of drug addicts included a flood, an earthquake, a shootout and more. She ultimately finds recovery, love and happiness, and learns the true meaning of success.
An autobiographical story written to be both humorous and adventurous, Never Give in to Fear is meant to be an entertaining cautionary tale. MacGibbon wants to show that even when all seems lost, goodness and love can still be found in the most unexpected places.
Never Give in to Fear received a five (out of five) star review by ForeWord Clarion Reviews, which said, "What makes Never Give in to Fear shine is MacGibbon's ease with her story. She doesn't apologize for who she is, and she doesn't try to win over the reader. Honest to a fault, in ruthless pursuit of the story, MacGibbon's memoir is captivating from the very first sentence. MacGibbon has written-and lived-her way through a forbidding place. It's wonderful to not only read her story, but to know that she has flourished in her years of recovery. A memoir that offers hope, even in the worst of times, Never Give in to Fear is a terrific read. It's the perfect book for a reader in recovery, though MacGibbon's real-life adventures will be equally appealing to anyone who needs a little more adrenaline in their reading list."
Never Give in to Fear is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
