In the first half of her book “Alpha Chick,” Mal Duane lets the readers know her own difficult past in detail. And she doesn’t sugar-coat it at all, including her problems with men, alcohol, bad decisions and choices she made, and all of the other things that caused her so much pain in her past. Ms. Duane endured much suffering, but was able to turn her life around and find the real life she was looking and hoping for. In this book, she explains how her life changed, and how the reader’s life can change as well. “Alpha Chick” is actually two books in one. Part One is Mal Duane’s story. Part Two is a healing guide to help readers work through the pain of their past. She includes her five-step plan that helped her move from her painful past to a life of fulfillment, success and happiness. One thing is sure, it took a lot of bravery for Mal Duane to spill her guts to the world about all of her past mistakes. </font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I highly respect Mal Duane for writing “Alpha Chicks.” In telling her story, Mal will be able to help others in the same situations in a unique way. The five steps of the healing guide Focus, Acceptance and Attitude, Identification and Intention, Thoughts and Healing and Helping, each has a chapter of its own to guide you through each step at your own pace. If you are dealing with a painful past, or have an addiction of any kind, I encourage you to purchase a copy of this book to help you in your healing process. You will find valuable information that will change your life. <strong>Reviewed by Joy H. for Readers</strong> <strong>Favorite</strong></font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Mal Duane's book Alpha Chick is one of the most inspiring and powerful books I've read. It is heart-rending at times and happily-ever-after in others. Built on the foundation of her earlier life of suffering and keeping up appearances, Mal weaves her story into a powerful message to live today and serve others. The power of Alpha Chick is in the steps she offers the reader to become all that she can be in life, taking care to say that this can be very hard work but ultimately worth every minute. By controlling our thoughts and channeling them to the positive, life becomes more positive.</font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Alpha Chick is a very personal and inspiring autobiography that stimulates in the reader a desire to become an Alpha Chick. <strong>Maureen Torpy, Author of Moving Forward</strong></font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Alpha Chick by Mal Duane is one of the most empowering books ever. Mal is the real deal, conquering her fears and recreating her life in a better way, a fairy tale at its best, overcoming many obstacles in her life. Her 5 steps, moving from pain to power, based on the acronym FAITH, are a testimony to spiritual healing, love and gratitude and the fact that our thoughts truly do create our reality.</font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I am so very proud to have had the opportunity to talk with Mal and have her on my show, Modern Day Spiritual Journey. <strong>Rhonda M Brackett, USC Radio Productions host.</strong></font></font></p><p></p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span>
