“Shannon was selected to present at CCAR’s Multiple Pathways of Recovery Conference in Florida on ‘Creativity in Recovery for Optimal Health and Well-Being’.

She is highly intelligent and has good analytical skills.

“As with all the very best memoirs, it’s what Shannon Egan has to say about common truth and hidden secrets that resonates the most. Shannon’s journey is a gripping story about love-of-self, loss-of-self, ambition, failure, religious indoctrination and escaping the mental chains that hold us as people, us as tribes, and us as nations captive. Shannon’s writing is fast-paced, vivid, and absolutely rooted in self-discovery. No Tourists Allowed should be a required reading for every addict who has spent a lifetime fighting their demons through the foggy lens of religious indoctrination.

— Brian Lee Durfee, The Forgetting Moon--Simon & Schuster 2016

​

Her professionalism and knowledge in this area is a godsend to LVRC’s success in this area.
