Trail Of Light

Gracie Vandiver & Friends About Gracie Vandiver

The songs on Trail of Light reflect the journey from alcoholism and addiction to a new life in recovery. It's a compilation CD that includes music from a variety of very talented independent artists and award-winning songwriters, including Paul Williams, Mary Gauthier, Jon Vezner, Jack Sundrud, and Sharon Vaughn, offering many different vocal styles and musical genres. The first twelve songs lyrically address the emotional twists and turns on the path, reflecting "What it was like," "What happened," and "What it's like now." The fifteen-song journey concludes with "A vision for you," offering songs of hope and inspiration to maintain solid footing in day-to-day recovery.

"I am so impressed by the high quality of the music and recording and the meaningfulness of the lyrics on Trail of Light. This CD is a major contribution to the alcohol and drug abuse treatment field and I highly recommend it."
